Remember Me

Studio

1A-las! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?

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 in 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.
