Alas! and did my Savior bleed
Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? Refrain At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine, And bathed in its own blood, While all exposed to wrath divine, The glorious Sufferer stood! Refrain Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! Refrain Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man the creature’s sin. Refrain Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. Refrain But drops of grief can ne’er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give my self away ’Tis all that I can do. Refrain
