Representative Text

1 A guilty sinner once was I,
By righteous law condemn’d to die;
One hope remain’d, one only plea,
Jesus, the Saviour, died for me.

Refrain:
He died to save a world from sin,
He died from death my soul to win;
This all my hope, this all my plea,
He died for me, He died for me.

2 In deep contrition Him I sought,
Who on the cross redemption wrought,
And long with tears, on bended knee,
Implor’d His grace, Who died for me. [Refrain]

3 With loving smile, and words of cheer,
He bade me rise, dispell’d my fear;
From bonds of death He set me free,
And gave new life and hope to me. [Refrain]

4 With Him of ev’ry good possess’d,
My trusting soul finds perfect rest;
And evermore my joy shall be,
To live for Him Who died for me. [Refrain]
