Alas and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a world 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! Was it for crimes 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 just rolled away It was there by faith I received my sight And now I am happy all the day! But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe Here Lord I give my self away 'Tis all that I can do 'Cause at the cross, at the cross was where I first saw the light And the burden of my heart just rolled away And it was there by faith I received my sight And now I am happy all the day! At the cross, at the cross was where I first saw the light And the burden of my heart just rolled away For it was there by faith I received my sight And now I am happy all the day!
