1 I’ll tell it out where e’er I go,
This blessed truth that well I know:
Thro’ grace divine my soul is free,
Because a man has died for me.

Refrain:
He died for me, yes, truly me,
Upon the cross of Calvary;
The joy of life,
This thought shall be,
The dear Christ man has died for me.

2 Oh, tenderly I’ll speak his name,
Who took away my sin and shame;
My love for him shall endless be,
The blessed man who died for me. [Refrain]

3 His voice I hear above the strife,
It calls me on to better life;
New light shines forth from Calvary,
The dear Christ man has died for me. [Refrain]
