Music by Hugh Wilson Words by Isaac Watts VERSE 1 G C G D7 G Alas, and did my Savior bleed? D And did my Sovereign die? G D7 Em G7 C G D Would he devote that sacred head G C G D7 G for such__ a worm as I? VERSE 2 G C G D7 G Was it for crimes that I have done D he groaned upon the tree? G D7 Em G7 C G D Amazing pity, grace unknown, G C G D7 G and love___ beyond degree! VERSE 3 G C G D7 G Well might the sun in darkness hide, D and shut his glories in, G D7 Em G7 C G D when Christ, the mighty Maker, died G C G D7 G for man___ the creature’s sin! VERSE 4 G C G D7 G Thus might I hide my blushing face, D while his dear cross appears; G D7 Em G7 C G D dissolve my heart in thankfulness, G C G D7 G and melt___ mine eyes to tears. VERSE 5 G C G D7 G But drops of grief can ne’er repay D the debt of love I owe. G D7 Em G7 C G D Here, Lord I give myself away, G C G D7 G ’tis all___ that I can do.
