This rendition carries a reverent, worshipful tone, inviting listeners to remember the cross and respond with heartfelt devotion.
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
