Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed

Text: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 
Music: Attr. to Hugh Wilson, 1766-1824 
Tune: MARTYRDOM 
 
C                Am
Alas! and did my Savior bleed, 
    F      Em        G
And did my Sovereign die!
      C              Em 
Would he devote that sacred head 
    F       G       C
for sinners such as I? 

C                     Am
Was it for crimes that I have done, 
    F      Em        G
he groaned upon the tree? 
 C            Em 
Amazing pity! Grace unknown! 
    F       G     C
And love beyond degree! 

C                     Am
Well might the sun in darkness hide, 
    F        Em      G
and shut its glories in, 
     C               Em 
when God, the mighty maker, died 
    F       G          C
for his own creature's sin. 

C                    Am
Thus might I hide my blushing face 
      F        Em      G
while his dear cross appears; 
   C                 Em 
dissolve my heart in thankfulness, 
    F         G       C
and melt mine eyes to tears. 

C                      Am
But drops of tears can ne'er repay 
    F       Em      G
the debt of love I owe. 
C                    Am
Here, Lord, I give myself away; 
     F        G     C
'tis all that I can do.
