 1 

Alas, and did my Savior bleed?

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred head

For such a worm 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 sins 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, His 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 

Thus might I hide my blushing face

While His dear cross appears.

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,

And melt mine eyes to tears.
 

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!
 
 5 

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!
