He Gave His Life for Thee

O soul

from Cal­v’ry’s cross

A voice is call­ing thee

The voice of Him who died

To make you free.

He gave His life for thee

He gave His life for me

And still in pa­tient love

He pleads now with thee.

They nailed Him to the cross

With thorns they pierced His brow

O come in faith alone

And trust Him now.

’Tis done

My work is o’er;

O hear His bit­ter cry

That shook the trem­bling earth

And rent the sky.

He died

but lives again;

O bless­èd truth di­vine!

Thro’ Him eter­nal joy

May yet be thine!
