Jesus alone did pray for me

1
Jesus alone did pray for me,
There in Gethsemane;
He pled aloud, in agony,
Sweat drops like blood for me.
 
For me! For me!
Upon the cross for me,
He bled and died to ransom me;
His heart like wax flowed free—
For me! For me!
2
Jesus alone was bound for me
On His betrayal night,
And He alone was tried for me
In front of Pilate's sight.
3
Jesus alone was flogged for me
Until His flesh was torn;
Humiliated, mocked for me,
For me was crowned with thorn.
4
Jesus alone then died for me
Atop Golgotha's mount.
From hands and feet and side, for me,
Flowed sins redeeming fount.
5
Jesus alone drank up for me
Wrath, curse, and bitter gall,
That I partake salvation free
And ne'er taste death at all.
6
To hear His final "Finished!" cry,
My heart, what sighs outpour!
How can I stem emotion's tide,
Such mighty love ignore?
