The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8437

8437. For Me

1 Under an eastern sky,
Amid a rabble’s cry
A Man went forth to die,
For me, for me.

2 Thorn crowned His blessèd head,
Blood stained His every tread;
Cross laden, on He sped,
For me, for me.

3 Piercèd His hands and feet,
Three hours o’er Him beat
Fierce rays of noontide heat,
For me, for me.

4 Thus wert Thou made all mine;
Lord, make me wholly Thine;
Grant grace and strength divine,
To me, to me.

5 In thought and word and deed,
Thy will to do, O lead
My soul, e’en though it bleed,
To Thee, to Thee.
