    Alas!

    and Did 294


    My Savior Bleed
    WORDS: Isaac Watts, 1707

    1. Alas! and did


    my Savior bleed,
    and did my
    Sovereign die?
    Would he devote
    that sacred head
    for sinners such as I?
    2. Was it for crimes
    that I have done,
    he groaned
    upon the tree?
    Amazing pity!
    Grace unknown!
    And love beyond degree!
    3. Well might the sun
    in darkness hide,
    and shut its glories in,
    when God, the mighty
    maker, died
    for his own
    creature’s sin.
    4. Thus might I hide
    my blushing face
    while his dear
    cross appears;
    dissolve my heart
    in thankfulness,
    and melt mine
    eyes to tears.
    5. But drops of tears
    can ne’er repay
    the debt of love I owe.
    Here, Lord, I give
    myself away;
    ’tis all that I can do.
