Text: | His Blood Was Shed for Me |
Author: | James M. Gray |
Tune: | [My sin it was that laid the rod] |
Composer: | D. B. Towner |
1 My sin it was that laid the rod
On Him who from the law was free;
And the eternal Son of God
Received the stripes once due to me.
Refrain:
And yet His blood was shed for me,
To be of sin the double cure:
And balm there flows from Calv’ry’s tree
That heals my guilt and makes me pure.
2 Nor beam was in His eye, nor mote;
Nor laid to Him was any blame:
And yet His cheeks for me they smote—
The cheeks that never blushed for shame. [Refrain]
3 I pierced those sacred hands and feet
That never touched nor walked in sin;
I broke the heart that only beat
The souls of sinful men to win. [Refrain]
4 That sponge of vinegar and gall
I handed Him upon the reed;
And when derision mocked His call
My tongue was guilty of the deed. [Refrain]
