1. Upon the cross He bled,
Upon the cruel tree;
‘Twas there my Savior shed
His precious blood for me.
Refrain:
For me those wounds He bore,
For me He knew this pain,
The thorny crown He wore,
That with Him I might reign.
For me those wounds He bore,
For me He knew the pain,
The thorny crown He wore
That with Him I might reign.
2. What wondrous thing is this
That Jesus Christ should die!
That He should bear this shame
That I might live on high!
3. Oh! Jesus, blessed Lord,
Why hast Thou loved me so
That thou shouldst bear my guilt
And carry all my woe?
4. To Thee my song I’ll raise,
Thy name I’ll loudly sing,
For Thou hast conquered death,
Let earth Thy praises ring!
