Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Alas, and did my Savior bleed 
Alas! and did my Savior bleed and did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head for such an one as I? 
Was it for sins 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 mighty Maker, died, For man, the creature's sin. 
Thus might I hide my shamed 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 to thee; 'Tis all that I can do.
