Alas And Did My Savior Bleed
And Did My Sovereign Die
Would He Devote That Sacred Head
For Sinners Such As I

Was It For Crimes That I Had Done
He Groaned Upon The Tree
Amazing Pity Grace Unknown
And Love Beyond Degree

Well Might The Sun In Darkness Hide
And Shut His Glories In
When Christ The Mighty Maker Died
For Man The Creature’s Sin

Thus Might I Hide My Blushing Face
While His Dear Cross Appears
Dissolve My Heart In Thankfulness
And Melt My Eyes To Tears

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

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
