Christmas Postcard – Thou shalt call His name/Was it for me

A stylish double-sided postcard, perfect for popping in with a Christmas card.

Side A: Thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

Side B:

Was it for me, for me alone,
The Saviour left His glorious throne;
The dazzling splendours of the sky,
Was it for me He came to die?

Was it for me sweet angel strains
Came floating o’er Judea’s plains?
That starlight night so long ago,
Was it for me God planned it so?

Was it for me He bowed His head
Upon the Cross, and freely shed
His precious blood that crimson tide,
Was it for me the Saviour died?

It was for me, yes, all for me,
O love of God, so great so free!
O wondrous love, I’ll shout and sing,
He died for me, my Lord and King!

John M Whyte (1850-1927)
