Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed

Lyrics

Alas! Alas! Alas! Alas! And did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die Did He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I Was it for sins that I had done He groaned upon the tree Amazing pity, grace unknown And love beyond degree My God Why would You shed Your blood So pure and undefiled To make a sinful one like me Your chosen precious child Alas! Alas! Alas! 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 My God Why would You shed Your blood So pure and undefiled To make a sinful one like me To make me Your child To make a sinful one like me Your chosen precious child Alas! Alas! Alas!
