ALAS AND DID MY SAVIOR BLEED

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.
