Alas! and did my Savior bleed?

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,304 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME

Fully absolved through these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb, Who from the Father's bosom came, Who died for me, even me, to atone, Now for my Lord and God I own. 4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Which, at the mercy-seat of God, For ever doth for sinners plead, For me, even for my soul, was shed. 5 Lord, I believe, were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. 6 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, Even then, this shall be all my plea, Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

Spirit of faith, descend, and show The virtue of His Name; The grace which all may find, The saving power, impart; And testify to all mankind, And speak in every heart. 4 Inspire the living faith, Which whosoe'er receives, The witnessin himself he hath, And consciously believes; The faith that conquers all, And doth the mountain move, And saves whoe'er on Jesus call, And perfects them in love.
