Text: | Oh, how I love Jesus! |
Tune: | [Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?] |
Arranger: | E. Laroche |
1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I? [Refrain]
2 Was it for crimes that I have 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 Christ, the mighty Maker died
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 mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]
