Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 #307 (1913) First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
Help me, dear Saviour, Thee to own,
And ever faithful be;
And when Thou sittest on Thy throne,
O Lord, remember 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 Christ, the mighty Maker died
For man, the creature’s sin. [Refrain]
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
Whilst His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Alas! and did my Saviour bleed]
Remember Me
