| 1. | Amazing words!-He 'gave Himself for me,' |
| | For me-rebellious, sinful, guilty me. |
| | For me the Savior bore the cross and shame; |
| | Rejoice, my soul, and bless His sacred name. |
| 2. | For me He left His glorious throne above, |
| | For me revealed His Father's wondrous love, |
| | For me He tabernacled here below, |
| | For me He drank the bitter cup of woe. |
| 3. | For me He reviled, despised, betrayed; |
| | For me was scourged, condemned and |
| | crucified; |
| | For me He suffered on th' accursŠd tree |
| | For me-lost, wretched, vile, unworthy me. |
| 4. | For me in agony He groaned and died, |
| | For me God's righteous law He satisfied, |
| | For me His precious blood He shed to save, |
| | For me He rose triumphant from the grave. |
