Triumphant Songs No.3 ‎#27

27. For me and for thee

1 Christ, the Lord, on this lonely earth,
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Walked a man as of lowly birth,
For me, for me and for thee.

2 Laid he heavenly glory down,
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Kingly head wore a thorny crown,
For me, for me and for thee.

3 Royal feet trod a weary road,
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Royal heart bore a heavy load,
For me, for me and for thee.

4 Mocked with smiting and cruel scorn,
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Feet and hands by the nailing torn,
For me, for me and for thee.

5 Was it vain that the Lord has died?
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Vain the Savior was crucified?
For me, for me and for thee.

6 At the feet of the Lamb, once slain,
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Praise, oh praise him who lives again,
For me, for me and for thee.

7 There, above, at the Father’s throne,
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Jesus pleadeth his name alone
For me, for me and for thee.

8 Jesus speaks and the work is done
For, me, for me, for me, for me,
Full atonement thro’ Christ the Son,
For me, for me and for thee.
