Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sov’reign die,
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
And did my Sov’reign die,
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2
Was it for sins that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
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 the incarnate Maker died
For man, His creature’s sin.
And shut his glories in,
When the incarnate Maker died
For man, His 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.
While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

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.
The debt of love I owe;
Here Lord, I give myself away:
’Tis all that I can do.

I was really touched by the lyrics of the song. I haven't played it yet. I just read it slowly and it bursts my into tears. Yes! How incredible are God is! He gave up Himself to a sinful and unfaithful me. I couldn't describe how much He loves me! O LORD JESUS! You are Worthy of glory, honor and praise!
