Isle of Wight (Traditional) |
Alas! |
and did my Savior bleed, |
and did my Sovereign die! |
Would he devote that sacred head |
for sinners such as I? |
Was it for crimes that I have done, |
he groaned upon the tree? |
Amazing pity! |
Grace unknown! |
And love beyond degree! |
Well might the sun in darkness hide, |
and shut its glories in, |
when God, the mighty maker, died |
for his own creature’s sin. |
