Alas! And did my Savior bleed Nathan Clark George

1 verse:
 Gb         Gb/Bb  Hmaj7 Db Gb
Alas! And did my Savior bleed,
                      Ebm           Abm7  Db
And did my Sovereign die!
           Gb       Gb/Bb     H Hmaj7 Db
Would He devote that sacred head
    Gb       Ebm  Db  Gb
For sinners such as I?

2 verse:
Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

3 verse:
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut its glories in,
When God, the mighty maker, died
For His own creature's sin.

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

5 verse:
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!
