53*. Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

C.M.
by I. Watts
1
Alas! and did my Savior bleed!
 
And did my Savior die?
 
Would He devote that sacred head
 
For such a worm as I?
2
Was it for crimes that I have 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 the Incarnate Maker died
 
For man His creature’s sin.
