This hymn has a unique tune.

 

 1 

He died for me that I might live;

   I live for Him who died,

My life, my love to Him I give —

   Jesus, the Crucified.

 

O Jesus, my Lord and Savior,

Help me to fully follow Thee

In life and death and loving service,

As Thou hast lived and died for me.

 

 2 

He died for me that I might die

   To Satan, self, and sin;

O death so deep! O life so high!

   Help me to enter in.

 

O Jesus, my Lord and Savior,

Help me to fully follow Thee

In life and death and loving service,

As Thou hast lived and died for me.

 

 3 

He lives for me that I may live

   As spotless e'en as He;

Savior, to me Thy nature give,

   And live Thy life in me.

 

O Jesus, my Lord and Savior,

Help me to fully follow Thee

In life and death and loving service,

As Thou hast lived and died for me.

 

 4 

He lives for me that I may give

   His love to hearts that pine;

Let me like Him for others live,

   And trace His steps divine.

 

O Jesus, my Lord and Savior,

Help me to fully follow Thee

In life and death and loving service,

As Thou hast lived and died for me.
