Alas and Did My Savior

Verse 1:
Alas! and did
My Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote
That sacred head
For such a worm as I?

Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart
Rolled a way,

Refrain:
It was there by faith
I received my sight,
And now I am happy
All the day!

Verse 2:
Was it for crimes
That I have done
He groaned upon the tree?

Verse 2:
Amazing pity!
Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart
Rolled a way,

Refrain:
It was there by faith
I received my sight,
And now I am happy
All the day!

Verse 3:
Well might the sun
In darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,

Verse 3:
When Christ,
The mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.

Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart
Rolled a way,

Refrain:
It was there by faith
I received my sight,
And now I am happy
All the day!

Verse 4:
But drops of grief
Can never repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do!

Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart
Rolled a way,

Refrain:
It was there by faith
I received my sight,
And now I am happy
All the day!
