Hymn 311 – ALAS, and did my Saviour bleed? | C&S English Hymnary

1. ALAS, and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worrh, as I? Chorus: At the cross, at the cross where l first saw the light And the burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away) It was there by faith I received my sight. And now I am happy all the day! 2. Was it for crimes that l have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace un-known! And love beyond degree! 3. Well migth the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature‘s sin. 4. But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, l give myself away ‘Tis all that I can do! AMEN
