Jesus Died For Me

Author: Miriam Eulalie Oatman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13042 First Line: Whate’er the road which I must tread Refrain First Line: Jesus died, He died for me Lyrics: 1 Whate’er the road which I must tread, Whate’er my lot may be, One thought I never can forget— For Jesus died for me. Refrain: Jesus died, He died for me, But he liveth, He liveth again, And some day the King I’ll see Hallelujah, amen. 2 When sins like mountains on me pressed, For healing I did flee Unto the fount of Jesus’ blood, The blood He shed for me. [Refrain] 3 And lo, the precious cleansing flood, Which over me did flow, Washed every stain from off my soul, And made me white as snow. [Refrain] 4 And now I walk the narrow road, Although I cannot see, I know by faith that I am safe, For Jesus died for me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Whate’er the road which I must tread]
