Verse 1
1. Alas! And did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Chorus 1
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
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
Verse 2
2. Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Verse 3
3. Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in
When Christ, the mighty Maker died
For man the creature’s sin
And shut his glories in
When Christ, the mighty Maker died
For man the creature’s sin
Verse 4
4. Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes to tears
While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes to tears
Verse 5
5. But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe
Here, Lord, I give my self away
’Tis all that I can do
The debt of love I owe
Here, Lord, I give my self away
’Tis all that I can do
