Additional Information
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
Verse 2
Was it for crimes that I haVE done
He groaned upon the tree
Amazing pity grace unknown
And love beyond degree
Verse 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
Verse 4
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt mine eyes to tears
Verse 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
Composer: Hugh Wilson
Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!
Sheet Music file (.pdf) also available.
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
