Alas, And Did My Savior Bleed Lyrics

Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2. Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, thine, And bathed in its own blood, While all exposed to wrath divine The glorious Suff'rer stood! 3. Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 4. Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin. 5. Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 6. 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.
