Lyrics

Chorus

At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light, And the burdens of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

Verse 1

Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a one as I?

Verse 2

Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree!

Verse 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.

Verse 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!
