And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred head,

For such a worm as I?

Refrain

Help me, dear Saviour

Thee to own, and ever faithful be

And when thou sittest on thy throne

O Lord, remember me

Was it for crimes that I had done,

He groaned on the tree?

Amazing pity, grace unknown,

And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide

And shut His glories in;

When Christ the mighty Maker died

For man, the creature’s sin.

Thus mighty I hide my blushing face

Whilst His dear cross appears;

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness

And melt mine eyes to tears.

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.

Amen
