Remember Me

1Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?

RefrainHelp me, dear Saviour,
Thee to own,
And ever faithful be;
And when Thou sittest on Thy throne,
O Lord, remember me.

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

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

4Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

5But 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.
