The Tabernacle Hymns ‎#241

241. He Loves Me

1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

Refrain:
He loves me, He loves me,
He loves me, this I know;
He gave Himself to die for me,
Because He loves me so!

2 Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

4 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]
