Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #263 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Luke 23:3-43 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 have done,
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
and love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when Christ, the mighty Maker, died
for his own creatures' 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. Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

while his dear cross appears,
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.

with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

Lo Salem’s daughters weep around!
A solemn darkness veils the skies!
A sudden trembling shakes the ground!
Come, saints, and drop a tear or two,
For Him who groan'd beneath your load!
He shed a thousand drops for you!
A thousand drops of richer blood!
2 Here’s love and grief beyond degree,
The Lord of Glory dies for men!
But lo! what sudden joys we see!
Jesus the dead revives again!
The rising God forsakes the tomb!
In tomb in vain forbids his rise!
Cherubic legions guard him home,
And shout him welcome to the skies!
3 Break off your tears, ye Saints! and tell
How high your great deliv'rer reigns!
Sing how He spoil'd the hosts of hell,
And led the monster death in chains:
Say, “live for ever, wond'rous King!"
Born to redeem, and strong to save!
Then ask the monster— "Where’s thy sting?
And were’s thy vict’ry boasting grave?"

I long to 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 burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye by faith can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
3 The shadow of your cross, Lord,
be my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine
than the sunshine of your face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, your cross. Topics: Lent; Christian year--Lent; Humility Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRISTOPHER

if you would my disciple be;
deny yourself, the world forsake,
and humbly follow after me.
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
your Lord for you endured to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
'twill guide you to a better home,
and lead to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Call and Vocation; Discipleship; Pilgrimage; Sunday of the Passion Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU

every tongue confess him King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season to receive a name
from the lips of sinners unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed;
3 Name him, Christians, name him, with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder, and with bated breath;
he is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped, trusted, and adored.
5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true;
crown him as your Saviour in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you in its light and power.
5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
with his Father's glory, with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of Glory now. Topics: Praise of God; Reign of Christ; Name of Jesus; Ascension and Exaltation Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON
