Author: T. O. Chisholm Hymnal: GRH21913 #94 (1913) Scripture: Galatians 2:14 First Line: He gave himself for my redemption Refrain First Line: He gave himself, my precious Savior Lyrics: 1 He gave Himself for my redemption,
Laid down His life, to save my own;
No less a price could pay my ransom,
No other sacrifice atone.
Refrain:
He gave Himself, my precious Savior,
I never knew such love before!
Now He is mine, yes, mine forever,
And I am His forevermore
2 He gave Himself a free oblation,
He counted not the cross of shame,
To bring to me His great salvation
And life eternal thro’ His name. [Refrain]
3 “He gave Himself!” I read them over,
Those words that mean so much to me;
I strive in vain to grasp their meaning,
How love so wonderful could be. [Refrain]
4 He gave Himself! they mocked and smote Him,
And nailed Him there upon the tree;
He bore it all in meek submission
And died a sinner’s death for me. [Refrain]
5 He gave Himself! His love hath conquered
My stubborn will, my sinful pride;
My broken heart to Him is clinging,
Who for my sake was crucified. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [He gave himself for my redemption]
