LYRICS:
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!
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.
The music is by Hugh Wilson.
Here is an additional verse of this song:
Well might the sun in darkness hide and shut His glories in;
when Christ the mighty maker died for man the creatures sin.
