ALL THIS FOR ME.

By M. E. Williams

For me, the Saviour came to earth, For me, accepted lowly birth; Trials and crosses meekly bore, Nor yielded once, though tempted sore.

For me, in Herod's hall was mocked, For me, by wicked men was scoffed; For me, the cruel lash he bore, For me, the thorny crown he wore.

For me, the bitter cup he drained, Till naught of all its dregs remained; For me, he groaned, and bled, and died, For me, the Lord was crucified.

For me, for me, oh! can it be, That precious blood was shed for me; For me, so poor, so vile, so mean, Unworthy, sinful, all unclean?

Bow low, my soul, with grief and shame That deeds of thine should cause such pain, And now may all my life be spent In showing him how I repent.

Healed with thy stripes, O Lord, I'd be, Cleansed and made pure, dear blood, in thee; Then may I dwell in Heaven above, And ever sing redeeming love.
