“Alas, And Did My Savior Bleed” is arranged here as an easy piano solo with the hymn melody placed clearly in the right hand and simple left-hand support underneath. The score uses large notation, finger numbers, and lyrics under the melody, making the arrangement readable while keeping the serious devotional character of the hymn.

Measures 1–8 present the first half of the hymn verse. The right hand carries the melody in simple rhythms, while the left hand supports with basic bass notes and long held tones. The texture stays open and uncluttered, so the melody and text remain the main focus.

Measures 9–16 complete the verse with the same clear two-hand layout. The right hand continues the hymn tune with stepwise motion and repeated notes, while the left hand gives steady harmonic support underneath. The final measures settle into a simple cadence, giving the arrangement a quiet and complete ending.

Interesting fact: “Alas, And Did My Savior Bleed” was written by Isaac Watts, one of the most important English hymn writers. The hymn is also historically connected with Fanny Crosby, who later described hearing this hymn during a revival meeting as part of her own conversion experience.
