Lyrics
Verse 1
Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For someone such as I?
Refrain
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!
Verse 2
Was it for crimes that I have done, He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree!
Refrain
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!
Verse 3
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!
Refrain
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!
