1. Have you read the story of the Cross,
Where Jesus bled and died;
Where your debt was paid by His precious blood
That gush’d from His wounded side?
Chorus:
He died of a broken heart for thee,
He died of a broken heart.
Oh, wondrous love! it was for thee,
He died of a broken heart.
2. Have you read how they plac’d the crown of thorns
Upon His lovely brow,
When He pray’d, forgive them, oh! forgive;
They know not what they do?
3. Have you read that He sav’d the dying thief,
When hanging on the tree,
Who look’d with pitying eyes and said,
Dear Lord, remember me?
4. Have you read that He look’d to heav’n and said,
It’s finished—’twas for thee?
Have you ever said, I thank Thee, Lord,
For giving Thy life for me?
