For Us

 

For us our Saviour came my friend,

For us His precious life did spend,

For us our mortal flesh did don,

So He could save us, everyone.

 

For us our Jesus bore our curse,

For us He suffered even worse,

For us He on a cross was hung,

One which to us sinners belong.

 

For us our Master gave His life,

For us He suffered human strife,

For us He walked an untried road,

To lift us from sin’s heavy load.

 

For us our Teacher bore sin’s name,

For us He suffered unjust blame,

For us He uttered no complain,

As He bore silently sin’s pain.

 

For us our Kinsman did redeem,

For us He conquered death’s dread scheme,

For us sin’s allies did defeat,

That we in Him know life complete.

 

For us our Saviour died and rose,

For us death’s grave He did expose,

For us He broke its holding bands,

That we might live by His commands.

Amen!
