Presentation V1 V2 C1 V3 V4 C2 E

Verse 1
(Alas! Alas! Alas!)
Alas! And did my Savior bleed
And did my sovereign die?
Did he devote that sacred head
for such a one as I?

Verse 2
Was it for sin that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown
And love beyond degree.

Chorus 1
My God, why would you shed your blood
So pure and so undefiled?
To make a sinful one like me
Your chosen precious child.
(Alas! Alas! Alas!)

Verse 3
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut His glories in.
When Christ, the mighty Maker died
For man the creatures sin.

Verse 4
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While his dear cross appear
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes to tears.

Chorus 2
My God, why would you shed your blood
So pure and so undefiled?
To make a sinful one like me
To make me your child.
(God, why would you shed your blood for me?)

E
To make a sinful one like me
Your chosen precious child.
(Alas! Alas! Alas!)
Oo..….
