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 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 my self 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

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
Thy body slain sweet Jesus Thine
And bathed in its own blood
While all exposed to wrath divine
The glorious Sufferer stood
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
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
4
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
5
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my 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
6
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe
Here Lord I give my self 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
