| Text: | Song of Sacrifice (Peterborough) |
| Tune: | PETERBOROUGH |
| Arranger: | C. A. Roberts |
| Composer: | Ralph Harrison |
1 Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
2 Why did He drink the bitter cup
Of sorrow, pain and woe?
Why on the cross be lifted up?
Because He loved me so!
