Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #301a (1917) Topics: Christ Died for me Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such an one as I?
2 Was it for sins 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 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 mine eyes to 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.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REMEMBER ME
