1 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! 2 Was it for crimes that I
had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace
unknown, And love beyond degree! 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 Well
might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in
When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man, the
creature's sin. 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! 4 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!
