Alas! And did my Saviour Bleed?
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I had 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 my 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. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: O HERRE, VI FÖRSAMLAS HÄR
Alas! And did my Saviour Bleed?
Lord, we Confess our Numerous Faults
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults,
How great our guilt has been:
Foolish and vain were all our thoughts,
And all our lives were sin.
2 But, O my soul, forever praise,
Forever love His name,
Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways
Of folly, sin, and shame.
3 ’Tis not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done;
But we are saved by sovereign grace
Abounding through His Son.
4 ’Tis from the mercy of our God
That all our hopes begin;
’Tis by the water and the blood
Our souls are washed from sin.
5 ’Tis through the purchase of His death
Who hung upon the tree,
The Spirit is sent down to breathe
On such dry bones as we.
6 Raised from the dead we live anew;
And justified by grace,
We shall appear in glory too,
And see our Father’s face.
Amen. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: O HERRE, VI FÖRSAMLAS HÄR
