FOR ME AND THEE

By W. C. Martin

Upon a lonely hill I see One on the cruel tree, From hands and feet and wounded side There gently flows a living tide; His life is ebbing thus for thee— For me and thee.
Pressed rudely on His brow I see A crown of cruelty; Though I and thou have helped to place The piercing thorns upon His face, His prayer ascends from yonder tree For me and thee.
With bitter grief and shame I see That head bowed low for me; But also, in that saddened face, I see a sweet, forgiving grace, And deep compassion, friend, for thee— For me and thee.
O, He endured so much for thee— For me and thee, He suffered on the shameful tree; The Lord of glory died for thee— For me and thee.
—W. C. Martin.
