Text: | Alas! and did my Saviour bleed |
Author (Verses): | Isaac Watts (1674-1748) |
1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my sovereign die?
Did he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
Remember me, remember me,
O Lord, remember me; Remember,
Lord, thy dying groans,
And then remember me.
2 Was it for sins that I have done
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
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.
4 Dear Saviour, I can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe!
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
‘Tis all that I can do.
