Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Praise and Worship #196 (1951) First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? Refrain First Line: He loves me; He loves me Lyrics: 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?
Refrain
He loves me; He loves me;
He loves me, this I know.
He gave himself to die for me
Because He loves me so!
2 Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When God the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's, sin. [Refrain]
4 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love we owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do. [Refrain Topics: Assurance; Atonement Languages: English Tune Title: [Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?]
He Loves Me
