Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
Was it for sins that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
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
At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
