The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#45

45. Was it For Me?

1 O can it be, O can it be,
My sins have nailed Thee on the tree?
And didst Thou groan and die for me?
O Lamb of God, what Love, what Love!

Refrain:
Was it for me, O Son of God,
That riven side, that crimson flood?
Was it for me, that cleansing blood?
O Lamb of God, what Love, what Love!

2 Was it for me, that weary sigh?
Was it for me, that dying cry
That rent the rocks and veild the sky?
O Lamb of God, what Love, what Love! [Refrain]

3 Low in the dust I bow to Thee,
While viewing all Thy agony
That I Thy ransomed child might be,
O Lamb of God! O Lamb of God! [Refrain]
