[Verse]
G C G D7 G
Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
D
and did my Sovereign die!
G D Em G C G D
Would he devote that sacred head
G C G D7 G
for such a worm as I!
[Verse]
G C G D7 G
Was it for crimes that I had done
D
he groaned upon the tree!
G D Em G C G D
Amazing pit-y! Grace unknown!
G C G D G
And love beyond degree!
[Verse]
G C G D7 G
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
D
and shut his glories in,
G D Em G C G D
when Christ, the mighty Maker, died
G C G D7 G
for man the creature's sin.
[Verse]
G C G D7 G
Thus might I hide my blushing face
D
while his dear cross appears;
G D Em G C G D
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
G C G D7 G
and melt mine eyes in tears.
[Verse]
G C G D7 G
But drops of grief can ne'er re-pay
D
The debt of love I owe;
G D Em G C G D
here, Lord, I give myself a-way,
G C G D7 G
'tis all that I can do.
