Verse 1
Alas and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov'reign die
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I
Was it for sins that I had done
He groaned upon the tree
Amazing pity grace unknown
And love beyond degree
Chorus:
My God why would You shed Your blood
So pure and undefiled
To make a sinful one like me
Your chosen precious child
Verse 2
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 to tears Chorus
