He Died for Me

He died for me

the Son of God

He left His home in glo­ry

To bear the sin of all the world—

Oh

sweet and ten­der sto­ry!

He died for me! He died for me!

He lives

in light and glo­ry!

Oh

let me tell to all the world

The glad and bless­èd sto­ry.

They crowned Him with a crown of thorns

For me He meek­ly wore it;

They laid on Him the hea­vy cross

For me

for me He bore it.

His love for me can nev­er die

In Heav­en He stand­eth plead­ing;

He shows His side and wound­ed hands

Forever in­ter­ced­ing.

Thou bless­èd Je­sus

Sav­ior mine

My life

my all I owe Thee;

I long to love Thee more and more

I would that all might know Thee.
