Alas And Did My Savior Bleed
Verse 1
Alas and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die
Would He devote that sacred Head
For sinners such as I

Verse 2
Was it for crimes that I had 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 His Glories in
When Christ the mighty Maker died
For man the creature's sin

Verse 4
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear Cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes to tears

Verse 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

Chorus
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
