He Died for Me

Listen from:

The highest height,
‘Mid heaven of light,
My Saviour left for me;
The kingly robe,
In His loved abode,
He laid aside for me.
From the angel’s song,
And the blessed throng
Of heaven He came for me;
From a street of gold
To a world so cold
My Saviour came for me.
They knew Him not,
So poor His lot—
So poor He was for me;
No friends, no home,
Despised, alone,
He suffered thus for me.
And the armed bands,
With cruel hands,
Led Jesus to the tree;
And the crimson flood
Of a Saviour’s blood
Flowed from His veins for me.
But soon He arose
From the dread repose
Of the death He died for me;
And at heaven’s bright gate,
Where the ransomed wait,
A welcome He’ll give to me.
