Wounded For Me

Don't know who exactly wrote the lyrics-W.G. Ovens (1870 - 1945)
or Gladys Westcott Roberts, 1888- ? Both names are mentioned.
But tune is definitely by W.G. Ovens.

1. Wounded for me , wounded for me.
There on the cross, He was wounded for me;
Gone my transgressions and now I am free
All because Jesus was wounded for me.

2. Dying for me, dying for me.
There on the cross, He was dying for me.
Now in His death my redemption I see
All because Jesus was dying for me.

3. Risen for me, risen for me.
Up from the grave, He has risen for me.
Now ever more from death's sting I am free.
All because Jesus has risen for me.

4. Coming for me, coming for me.
One day to earth, He is coming for me.
Then with what joy, His dear face I shall see.
O how I praise Him, He's coming for me!
