Alas and Did My Savior Bleed
Isaac Watts, 1707

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!

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 blushing face

While His dear Cross appears,

Dissolve my heart
In thankfulness,

And melt my eyes to tears.

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.
