Lutheran Hymnal: 061 - Alas! And Did my Saviour Bleed
1
Alas! And did my Saviour bleed,
And did my sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
3
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When God, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the 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 grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
’Tis all that I can do.
