Author: I. Watts Hymnal: International Song Service #35 (1895) First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm 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]
3 But drops of grief can ne'er replay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: AT THE CROSS
At the cross, at the cross
