[Verse 1]
C/GAlas! and did my Savior bleed
EmAnd did my Sovereign die.
C/GWould He devote that sacred head
CFor sinners such as I?
[Verse 2]
C/GHis body slain; nailed to the cross
EmBathed in his own blood
C/GThere received the wrath of God
CHis soul in anguish stood.
[Verse 3]
C/GIt was for crimes that I had done
EmThat kept him on the tree.
C/GAmazing mercy, matchless grace
CAnd love beyond degree.
[Verse 4]
C/GWhen Christ, our own creator died
EmAnd took upon our sin
C/GNot even in that darkest hour
CCould glory be shut in
[Chorus]
