Behold a little child
He stood before the court
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 He stood before the court
on trial instead of us;
he met its power to hurt,
condemned to face the cross:
our King, accused of treachery;
our God, abused for blasphemy!
2 These are the crimes that tell
the tale of human guilt;
our sins, our death, our hell —
on these the case is built:
to this world's powers the Lord stays dumb;
the guilt is ours, no answers come.
3 The sentence must be passed,
the unknown prisoner killed;
the price is paid at last,
the law of God fulfilled:
he takes our blame, and from that day
the accuser's claim is wiped away.
4 Shall we be judged and tried?
in Christ our trial is done;
we live, for he has died,
our condemnation gone:
in Christ are we both dead and raised,
alive and free — his name be praised! Topics: God, Saviour Suffering and Dying; Lent 3, The King and the Kingdom Suffering; Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross Used With Tune: ST. JOHN

The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
