VERSE 1
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign 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.
VERSE 2
Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
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.
VERSE 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
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.
VERSE 4
Thus might I hide my blushing face,
Whilst His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt mine eyes to tears.
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.
VERSE 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.
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.
