Here Hangs a Man Discarded

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #203 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Here hangs a man discarded, a scarecrow hoisted high, a nonsense pointing nowhere to all who hurry by. 2 Can such a clown of sorrows still bring a useful word when faith and love seem phantoms and every hope absurd? 3 Yet here is help and comfort for lives by comfort bound, when drums of dazzling progress give strangely hollow sound: 4 Life, emptied of all meaning, drained out in bleak distress, can share in broken silence our deepest emptiness; 5 And love that freely entered the pit of life's despair, can name our hidden darkness and suffer with us there. 6 Christ, in our darkness risen, help all who long for light to hold the hand of promise, till faith receives its sight.
