Author: Frank Granstaff Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12558 First Line: For love of me, He left a throne Refrain First Line: O matchless grace, that He should deign Lyrics: 1 For love of me, He left a throne
And came in condescension low;
He sought me when I wandered lone
In my dark sin and grief and woe.
Refrain:
O matchless grace, that He should deign,
For love of me,
To tread the way of bitter pain,
To Calvary.
2 For love of me, He took my name,
That He to me might Savior be;
Endured the scorn, the grief, the shame,
And, sinless, bore sin’s penalty. [Refrain]
3 For love of me, He went, thorn crowned,
To cruel death upon the tree;
By foe reviled, by friend disowned,
And dying, won the victory. [Refrain]
4 Exalted high, He now doth reign
Lord over all, the Prince of Life;
Till He in power shall come again
To banish sin and end the strife. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [For love of me, He left a throne]
