He died for me, the Son of God,
He left His home in glo­ry
To bear the sin of all the world—
Oh, sweet and ten­der story!

Refrain

He died for me! He died for me!
He lives, in light and glo­ry!
Oh, let me tell to all the world
The glad and bless­èd sto­ry.

They crowned Him with a crown of thorns,
For me He meek­ly wore it;
They laid on Him the hea­vy cross,
For me, for me He bore it.

Refrain

His love for me can ne­ver die,
In Hea­ven He stand­eth plead­ing;
He shows His side and wound­ed hands,
Forever in­ter­ced­ing.

Refrain

Thou bless­èd Je­sus, Sav­ior mine,
My life, my all I owe Thee;
I long to love Thee more and more,
I would that all might know Thee.

Refrain
