Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign 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 burdens 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 burdens 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 burdens of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
At the Cross, at the Cross
Where I first saw the light
And the burdens of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
