 1  Alas, and did my Savior bleed?

       And did my Sovereign die?

    Would He devote that sacred head

       For such a worm as I?

 

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 sins that I had done

       He groaned upon the tree?

    Amazing pity! Grace unknown!

       And love beyond degree!

 

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!

 

 3  Well might the sun in darkness hide,

       And shut His glories in,

    When Christ, the mighty Maker, died

       For man, His creature's sin.

 

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!

 

 4  Thus might I hide my blushing face

       While His dear cross appears.

    Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,

       And melt mine eyes to tears.

 

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!

 

 5  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.

 

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!
