1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sovereign die!
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners, such as I?
Chorus
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!
2. Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
[Chorus]
3. Well, might the sun in darkness hide
And shut its glories in,
When God, the mighty maker, died
For His own creature’s sin.
[Chorus]
4. Thus, might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
[Chorus]
5. But drops of tears can never repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
‘Tis all that I can do.
[Chorus]
