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,
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 myself away,
'tis all that I can do! [Refrain]
