Alas! and did my Saviour

• • Alas! and did my Saviour 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! 
  • 
    
  • Well might the sun in darkness hide, 
  • and shut his glories in, 
  • when Christ, the great Creator, 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 mine eyes to tears. 
  • 
    
  • But drops of grief can ne‟er repay 
  • the debt of love I owe; 
  • here, Lord, I give myself away, 
  • „This all that I can do!
