Have you read the sto­ry of the cross,
Where Je­sus bled and died,
Where your debt was paid by the pre­cious blood
That flowed from His wound­ed side?

Refrain

He died of a brok­en heart for you,
He died of a brok­en heart;
Oh, won­drous love! for you, for me,
He died of a brok­en heart.

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns
Upon His king­ly brow,
How He cried, They know not what they do;
O Fa­ther, for­give them now?

Refrain

Have you read how the dy­ing thief was saved
While hang­ing on the tree,
When he looked with plead­ing eyes and said,
O Lord, re­mem­ber me?

Refrain

Have you read how in ang­uish He cried aloud
And died on Cal­va­ry?
Have you ev­er said, I thank Thee, Lord,
For giv­ing Thy life for me?
