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