We trialled Man Of Sorrows tonight. Having transposed it down from the original key, we’ll be singing it in D.
I’ll apologise for not having posted the hymn Man Of Sorrows already, and for this beating it on the list.
The lyrics are good, the structure is sound.
We’ll be adding it to our list.

The lyrics:
1.
Man of Sorrows, Lamb of God
By His own betrayed
The sin of men and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid
2.
Silent as He stood accused
Beaten, mocked, and scorned
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns
Chorus.
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out “Hallelujah!”
Praise and honour unto Thee
3.
Sent of heaven, God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree
Chorus.
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out “Hallelujah!”
Praise and honour unto Thee
Bridge.
Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free, oh is free indeed!
Chorus.
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out “Hallelujah!”
Praise and honour unto Thee
4.
See, the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah, God be praised
He’s risen from the grave!
Chorus.
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out “Hallelujah!”
Praise and honour unto Thee
Praise and honour unto Thee
