LyicsFor me, O did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sove-reign die,
Would he de-vote that sacred head
For such a worm as I!
Would he de-vote that sa-cred head
For such a worm as I!
Was it for crimes that I had done
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 Christ, the Lord, was crucified
For man, the rebel'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.
But tears of grief can ne'er repay
That debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'T is all that I can do.
