Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed? (Live)

Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown
And love beyond degree

Sing that verse again
This is a new melody

Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown
And love beyond degree

Well, might the sun, in darkness, hide
And shut His glories in
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin
Thus, might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes with tears

But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe (it's true)
Here, Lord, I give myself away
'Tis all that I can do
Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Amazing pity, grace unknown
And love beyond degree

Yes, it's love beyond degree
