Lyrics
Alas, and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
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,
'Tis all that I can do.
'Tis all that I can do!
