Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in When God, the mighty Maker, died For his own creatures' 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.
