1. Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away, (rolled away,)
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day.
2. Was it for the crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
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!
