Text:His trial o'er, and now beneath
Author:Charles Coffin, d. 1749
Translator:John Chandler
Tune:GOOD FRIDAY

174b. His trial o'er, and now beneath

1 His trial o'er, and now beneath
His own Cross faintly bending,
Jesus the fatal hill of death
Is wearily ascending.

2 And now, His hands and feet pierced through,
Upon the Cross thy raise Him:
Where even now, in distant view,
The eye of faith surveys Him.

3 O wondrous Love, which God most high
Toward man was please to cherish!
His sinless Son He gave to die,
That sinners might not perish.

4 Yes, 'tis the Cross that breaks the rod
And chain of condemnation,
And makes a league 'twist man and God
For our entire salvation.

5 O praise the Father, praise the Son,
The Lamb for sinners given,
And Holy Ghost, by whom alone
Our hearts are raised to heaven.
