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 crimes 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 its glories in,
When God, the great Redeemer, died
For human creatures' 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.
