Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

[1]
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
and did my Sov'reign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?

[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!

[2]
Was it for crimes that I have done
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

[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!

[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!

[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!
