Lyrics

Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840

Hymn 138
C.M.
1. Alas! and did my Saviour bleed!
And did my Saviour die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I.

2. Was it for crimes that I had 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 Christ the mighty Maker died
For man the creature's sin.

4. Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes in tears.

5. But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841

Hymn 183
C.M.
1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed!
And did my Sov'reign 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 Christ the mighty Savior died,
For man the creature's sin!

4. Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears:
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

5. But drop of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

Lyrics from Favorite Gospel Songs: A hymn and Tune Book, 1894[8]

1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

Chorus.
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart 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 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 Christ the mighty Maker, died,
For man, the creature's sin.

4. Thus might I hide my blushing face
While that dead cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

5. But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,—
'Tis all that I can do.

A chorus from Peeps Into Life: Autobiography of John Mathews, a Minister of the Gospel for …, 1904 (p. 10)

Oh, the Lamb, the loving Lamb,
The Lamb of Calvary!
The Lamb that was slain, but lives again,
To intercede for me!

Lyrics from The Christian Lyre: A Collection of Hymns and Tunes Adapted for Social Worship, Prayer Meetings, and Revivals of Religion, 1833 (p. 43; no. 26)[9]

1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a wretch as I?

Chorus—Repeat the tune.
O, the Lamb, the loving Lamb,
The Lamb on Calvary;
The Lamb that was slain,
That liveth again,
To intercede for me.

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 God, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.

4. Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve, my heart in thankfulness,
And melt, my eyes, in tears.

5. But drops of tears can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away—
'Tis all that I can do.

Chorus from Songs of Praise, 1904 (p. 132)[10]

…
Chorus.
I do believe, I now believe,
That Jesus died for me;
And thro' His blood, His precious blood,
I shall from sin be free.
…
