Text: | Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed? |
Author: | Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
Tune: | MARTYRDOM (Avon) |
Composer: | Hugh Wilson, 1764-1824 |
1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon 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 mighty Maker, 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.
Amen.
