| 1 Angels in shining order stand Around the Savior’s throne; They bow with reverence at His feet And make His glory known. Those happy spirits sing His praise To all eternity, But I can sing redeeming grace, For Jesus died for me. Refrain: Died for me, yes, died for me, Yes, Jesus died for me, for me; Died for me, yes died for me. Then I can sing redeeming grace, For Jesus died for me. 2 The cross of Christ inspires my heart To sing redeeming grace; Awake, my soul, and bear a part In my Redeemer’s praise. O who can be compared to Him Who died upon the tree? This is my dear, delightful theme, That Jesus died for me. [Refrain] 3 His body, broken, nailed and torn, And stained with streams of blood, His spotless soul was left forlorn, Forsaken by His God, ’Twas then His Father gave the stroke That justice did decree; All nature felt that dreadful stroke, When Jesus died for me. [Refrain] 4 "Eloi, lama, sabachthani? My God, my God," He cried, "Why hast Thou thus forsaken Me?" And thus my Savior died. But why did God forsake His Son, When bleeding on the tree? He died for sins, but not His own, For Jesus died for me. [Refrain] | The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #116 (1854) The Cyber Hymnal #13775 |
