Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such 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!
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine�
And bathed in its own blood�
While the firm mark of wrath divine,
His Soul in anguish stood.
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 crimes 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!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature�s sin.
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!
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
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 my self 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!
