  1. Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
    And did my Sovereign die?
    Would He devote that sacred head
    For such a worm 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. Thus might I hide my blushing face
    While His dear cross appears,
    Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
    And melt my eyes to tears.

  5. But drops of grief can ne’er repay
    The debt of love I owe:
    Here, Lord, I give my self away
    ’Tis all that I can do. Amin.
