Was it for me, for me alone, The Saviour left His glorious throne, The dazzling splendors of the sky? Was it for me He came to die? Refrain: It was for me, yes, all for me, O love of God, so great, so free, O wondrous love, I'll shout and sing, He died for me, my Lord and King! Was it for me, sweet angel strains Came floating o'er Judea's plains That starlit night so long ago? Was it for me God planned it so? Was it for me the Saviour said: "Pillow thy weary, aching head Trustingly on thy Saviour's breast"? Was it for me? Can I thus rest? Was it for me He wept and prayed, My load of sin before Him laid, That night within Gethsemane? Was it for me, that agony? Was it for me He bowed His head Upon the cross and freely shed His precious blood, that crimson tide? Was it for me the Saviour died? OTHER HYMNS with the SAME TUNE: •   Redemption Ground  Daniel W.
