Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed? (Traditional)

Songwriter(s): Isaac Watts

CCLI: #29499

Oct 04 2016

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!

VERSE 2
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut His glories in,
When Christ the mighty Maker died
For man the creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears.
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes with tears.

VERSE 3
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.
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
