Author: John Long Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8437 First Line: Under an eastern sky Lyrics: 1 Under an eastern sky,
Amid a rabble’s cry
A Man went forth to die,
For me, for me.
2 Thorn crowned His blessèd head,
Blood stained His every tread;
Cross laden, on He sped,
For me, for me.
3 Piercèd His hands and feet,
Three hours o’er Him beat
Fierce rays of noontide heat,
For me, for me.
4 Thus wert Thou made all mine;
Lord, make me wholly Thine;
Grant grace and strength divine,
To me, to me.
5 In thought and word and deed,
Thy will to do, O lead
My soul, e’en though it bleed,
To Thee, to Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: [Under an eastern sky]
For Me
