Lyrics

Verse 1

Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a one as I?

 

Verse 2

Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree!

 

Verse 3

Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin.

 

Verse 4

Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes in tears.

 

Verse 5

But drops of grief can ne'er re-pay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do!
