163   At the Cross




[1]
Alas and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For someone such as I?

[C]
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 suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

[C]
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!

[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!

[C]
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!
