Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #269 (1934) 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?
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 had done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
4 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [Alas! and did my Savior bleed?]
At The Cross
