Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I!
I now believe he died for me,
I now believe, I now believe
Oh, wondrous grace, so full and free,
I now believe he died for me
Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
I now believe he died for me,
I now believe, I now believe
Oh, wondrous grace, so full and free,
I now believe he died for me
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin.
I now believe he died for me,
I now believe, I now believe
Oh, wondrous grace, so full and free,
I now believe he died for me
Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear Cross appears,
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.
I now believe he died for me,
I now believe, I now believe
Oh, wondrous grace, so full and free,
I now believe he died for me
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!
I now believe he died for me,
I now believe, I now believe
Oh, wondrous grace, so full and free,
I now believe he died for me
