Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,376 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ-Cross Lyrics: 1 Alas, and did my Savior bleed and did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon 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 mortal creature's sin. 4 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.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Appears in 555 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Cross Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I gladly take my stand: The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land, A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat And the burden of the day. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus My eyes at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess- The wonders of His glorious love And my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face, Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Cross Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Saviour’s love to me, love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. O who am I that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from his blest throne salvation to bestow, but people scorned, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his sweet praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine! This is my friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
