Tune:[Jesus, when before rulers]
Composer:F. F. Dawdy

71. Jesus Before Rulers

1 Jesus, when before rulers
In trial I now see Thee stand,
There condemned for the crimes
Thou hast never committed,
Nor never hast planned.

Chorus:
Jesus, Thou blessed Prince of Peace,
Thou didst this sad soul from sin release;
Thy love and power shall never cease,
Reign Thou, King Jesus, o’er all.

2 Savior, blessed Redeemer,
Reviled now again and again,
Thorn-crowned, smitten, rejected,
Forsaken in sorrow
By God and by men. [Chorus]

3 When on dark Calv’ry’s mountain,
A ransom Thy life freely gave,
Thou didst open the fountain
For sin and for cleansing,
I plunge ‘neath its wave. [Chorus]
