Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
for someone such 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!
Was it for
crimes that I have done,
He suffered on 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.
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.
