Lamb of God - Savior Mine

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us.   (I John 3:16 NRSV)

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred head

For sinners such as I?

Was it for sins that I have done

He suffered 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 great Redeemer, died

For man the creature's sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face

While 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.

~Isaac Watts  (1674-1748)
