Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovreign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light And the burden of my heart rolled away It was there by faith I received my sight And now I am happy all the day Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine And bathed in its own blood While the firm mark of wrath divine His soul in anguish stood 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 creatures 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 neer repay The debt of love I owe Here, Lord, I give myself away Tis all that I can do
