’Twas for me my Saviour suffered
On the cross of Calvary,
’Twas for me Himself He offered,
To procure my liberty.
Oh! His love for me . . .
Oh! His love for me . . .
’Twas for me my Saviour suffered,
Oh! His love for me.
None but Christ could meet the sentence
God has passed against my sins;
Deep though be the soul’s repentance
E’er the joy of faith begins.
His atoning work is ended,
Now in heaven He’s glorified,
To the throne of God ascended,
He awaits the Church—His Bride.
Great His joy will be to have me
In the Father’s house above:
Great His grace to stoop and save me,
Son of God! how great Thy love.
Be the first to react on this!
H.J. Vine ( - )
H.J. Vine was involved in the early Plymouth Brethren movement. The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism.Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over and above "the [mere] tradition of men" (Mark 7:8). Brethren generally see themselves, not as a denomination, but as a network (or even as a collection of overlapping networks) of like-minded independent churches.
