274. He Loves Me

1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

Chorus:
He loves me, He loves me,
He loves me, this I know;
He gave Himself to die for me,
Because He loved me so.

2 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When Christ the mighty Maker, died,
For man, the creature's sin. [Chorus]

3 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]
