Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,299 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:1 First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such 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 its glories in, when Christ, the mighty Maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. 5 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.
