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.
