Alas, and did my Savior bleedAnd did my Sov’reign dieWould He devote that sacred headFor sinners such as I
At the cross, at the crosswhere I first saw the lightAnd the burdenof my heart rolled away
It was there by faithI received my sightAnd now I am happy all the day
Was it for crimes that I had doneHe groaned upon the treeAmazing pity, grace unknownAnd love beyond degree
At the cross, at the crosswhere I first saw the lightAnd the burdenof my heart rolled away
It was there by faithI received my sightAnd now I am happy all the day
Well might the sun in darkness hideAnd shut his glories inWhen Christ, the mighty Maker diedFor man, the creature’s sin
At the cross, at the crosswhere I first saw the lightAnd the burdenof my heart rolled away
It was there by faithI received my sightAnd now I am happy all the day
Thus might I hide my blushing faceWhile Calv’ry’s cross appearsDissolve my heart in thankfulnessAnd melt mine eyes to tears
At the cross, at the crosswhere I first saw the lightAnd the burdenof my heart rolled away
It was there by faithI received my sightAnd now I am happy all the day
But drops of grief can ne’er repayThe debt of love I oweHere, Lord, I give myself away’Tis all that I can do
At the cross, at the crosswhere I first saw the lightAnd the burdenof my heart rolled away
It was there by faithI received my sightAnd now I am happy all the day
