First Line: Under an eastern sky
Last Line: To thee
Subject(s): Jesus Christ - Suffering & Sacrifice
Under an Eastern sky,
Amid a rabble cry,
A man went forth to die,
For me!
Thorn-crowned his blessed head,
Blood-stained his every tread,
Cross-laden on he sped,
For me!
Pierced glow his hands and feet,
Three hours o'er him did beat
Fierce rays of noon-tide heat,
For me!
Thus wert thou made all mine,
Lord make me wholly thine,
Give grace and strength divine,
To me!
In thought and word and deed,
Thy will to do; oh! lead my feet
E'en though they bleed,
To thee!
