Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,314 hymnals First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head,
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me.
2 Was it for crimes that I had 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’s own Son was crucified,
For man, the creature's sin. [Refrain]
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears. [Refrain]
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give my self away—
'Tis all that I can do. [Refrain]
