- 1Alas! and did my Savior bleed?And did my Sov'reign die?Would He devote that sacred headFor such a worm as I?He loves me, He loves me,He loves me, this I know; (I know;)He gave Himself to die for me,Because He loved me so!
- 2Was it for crimes that I have done,He groaned upon the tree?Amazing pity! grace unknown!And love beyond degree!He loves me, He loves me,He loves me, this I know; (I know;)He gave Himself to die for me,Because He loved me so!
- 3Well might the sun in darkness hide,And shut His glories in,When Christ, the mighty Maker, died,For man, the creature's sin.He loves me, He loves me,He loves me, this I know; (I know;)He gave Himself to die for me,Because He loved me so!
- 4Thus might I hide my blushing faceWhile His dear cross appears;Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,And melt mine eyes to tears.He loves me, He loves me,He loves me, this I know; (I know;)He gave Himself to die for me,Because He loved me so!
- 5But drops of grief can ne'er repayThe debt of love I owe:Here, Lord, I give myself away,'Tis all that I can do.He loves me, He loves me,He loves me, this I know; (I know;)He gave Himself to die for me,Because He loved me so!
