Lyrics

Christ died for me, O precious tho't,
Upon the cross my pardon bought;
Yes, His own blood was shed for me,
The debt is paid and I am free.

Christ died for me, the news I'll spread,
For me, was numbered with the dead,
And from the grave arose again
That I with Him might live and reign.

Ye angels, strike your harps of gold,
Thro' heaven's courts let it be told
That Jesus died on Calvary,
For sinners lost, for even me.

Chorus:
He died for me, He died for me
O praise His name, He set me free,
I'll sing this song while ages roll,
"Christ Jesus died to save my soul."
