Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?
And Did My Sovereign Die?
Would He Devote That Sacred Head
For Such A Worm As I?
Was It For Crimes That I Had 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’s Own Son Was Crucified
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.
