Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,340 hymnals First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? Lyrics: 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? 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 man, the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes in tears. 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.

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toLl, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise And all Thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
