ALAS AND DID MY SAVIOR BLEED
Next
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Did he devote that sacred head
For such a wretch as I?
Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity grace unknown
And love beyond degree.
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in
When God the mighty Maker died
for man the creature's sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While his dear cross appears
dissolve my heart in thankfulness
and melt mine eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne'er repay
the debt of love I owe;
Here Lord I give myself away
'Tis all that I can do.
Here Lord I give myself away
'Tis all that I can do.
