Hymn
When He Died for Me
Words: Ackley, A. H. (Alfred Henry), 1887-1960 (1912)
Upon a hill before me, A blood-stained cross I see; Behold, the Savior suffers, The Man of Galilee.
Refrain
When He died for me, When He died for me, Jesus purchased my salvation, When He died for me.
I see this Man of Sorrows, As He came down from Heav’n; Despised, condemned, rejected, That I might be forgiv’n. [Refrain]
Just how His blood redeemed me, I do not understand, But this I know, He liveth, And my redemption planned. [Refrain]
His love is so amazing, His grace so rich and free, Abundantly provided, Upon Mount Calvary. [Refrain]
