Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed?
1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut His glories in When Christ, the great Redeemer, died For man the creature's sin. 4 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.
