Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Christ in Song #212 (1908) First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed Refrain First Line: At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sov'reign 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 deeds 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 repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do! [Chorus]
