Author: Isaac Watts; Ralph E. Hudson Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #104 (1982) 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 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 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 suffered on 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 myself away,
'Tis all that I can do! [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [Alas, and did my Savior bleed]
