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 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

Oh, 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 myself 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

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
