At the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,356 hymnals Topics: Witness Songs First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Refrain First Line: At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light Lyrics: 1 Alas! And did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away, (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! (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
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! (Refrain)

I Will Praise Him
Author: Margaret J. Harris Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: Witness Songs First Line: When I saw the cleansing fountain Refrain First Line: I will praise Him! Lyrics: 1 When I saw the cleansing fountain,
Open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing
When He said, “Wilt thou be clean?”
Chorus:
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.
2 Tho' the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay. (Chorus)
3 Then God’s fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall never cease to praise Him--
Glory, glory to His name! (Chorus)
4 Blessèd be the name of Jesus!
I’m so glad He took me in;
He’s forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin. (Chorus)
5 Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One! (Chorus)

Zion, city of our God!
He whose word cannot be broken
formed you for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
you may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply your sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in your name.
Fading are the world's vain pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasures
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87 Used With Tune: JEFFERSON
