Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,382 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die! Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I! 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 God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 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. Amen. Scripture: Genesis 32:10 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (AVON)

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,060 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1. When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Heermann Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: Penitence First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended, that we to judge you have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by your own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone you; yes, I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 Lo, the good shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave is guilty, yet the Son has suffered; for our atonement, we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation, your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever pray you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving.
