Hymn
Title :Alas!
And did my Saviour Bleed?
Alas! And did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Was
it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well
might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When God, the mighty Maker, died
For His own creature's sin.
Thus
might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
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!
