Verse 1: Under an eastern sky, Amid a rabble's cry, A Man went forth to die, For me! for me! Verse 2: Thorn-crowned His blessed head, Blood-stained His every tread; Cross-laden He was led, For me! for me! Verse 3: Pierced His hands and feet, Three hours o'er Him beat Fierce rays of noon-tide heat, For me! for me! Verse 4: Thus wert Thou made all mine; Lord, make me wholly Thine; Grant grace and strength divine To me! to me! Verse 5: In thought and word and deed, Thy will to do, O lead My soul, e'en though it bleed, To Thee, to Thee.
