The Statler Brothers - Alas And Did My Savior Bleed

      [Verse]
G     C   G         D7  G
Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
                     D
and did my Sovereign die!
      G  D Em   G    C G    D
Would he devote that sacred head
G     C  G      D7 G
for such a worm as I!

[Verse]
G      C   G             D7  G
Was it for crimes that I had done
                    D
he groaned upon the tree!
 G  D   Em  G  C     G D
Amazing pit-y! Grace unknown!
G     C  G      D G
And love beyond degree!

[Verse]
G          C   G          D7   G
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
                     D
and shut his glories in,
     G       D   Em   G C  G   D
when Christ, the mighty Maker, died
G     C G       D7     G
for man the creature's sin.

[Verse]
G          C G            D7  G
Thus might I hide my blushing face
                       D
while his dear cross appears;
   G     D  Em    G  C    G  D
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
G     C  G         D7 G
and melt mine eyes in tears.

[Verse]
G         C  G               D7 G
But drops of grief can ne'er re-pay
                   D
The debt of love I owe;
      G     D Em   G C    G D
here, Lord, I give myself a-way,
G     C  G      D7  G
'tis all that I can do.
