Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed ============================= w: Isaac Watts, 1707 m: Attr. to Hugh Wilson, 1827 Tune: Martyrdom Meter: C.M. [Verse 1] Alas and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? [Verse 2] Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Verse 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. [Verse 4] Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. [Verse 5] But drops of tears can ne'er repay the dept of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.
