Hymnal: Joy to the World #82 (1879) First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Refrain First Line: Jesus died for you Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Chorus:
Jesus died for you,
Jesus died for me,
Yes, Jesus died for all mankind,
Bless God, salvation's free.
2 Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groan'd upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Alas! and did my Savior bleed]
For Me
