Alas and did my saviour bleed

from EASTER​/​PASCHA by Hugh Wilson

/

lyrics

Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?

The strangeness of love - my life in your death
In your brokenness - my wholeness revealed
Your bonds are my freedom
Your sorrow my song
And by your wounds I am healed

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

The strangeness of love - my life in your death
In your brokenness - my wholeness revealed
Your bonds are my freedom
Your sorrow my song
And by your wounds I am healed

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.

The strangeness of love - my life in your death
In your brokenness - my wholeness revealed
Your bonds are my freedom
Your sorrow my song
And by your wounds I am healed

Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when God, the mighty maker, died
for his own creature's sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.
