Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 2008 #228 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 had 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. Topics: Redemption, Salvation, Atonement Languages: English Tune Title: AVON
