At The Cross (Alas And Did My Savior Bleed) / Lyrics

VERSE 1
Alas! and did my Savior bleed and did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?

VERSE 2
Was it for crimes that I had 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

VERSE 4
Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt my eyes to tears

VERSE 5
But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe
Here, Lord, I give myself away is all that I can do

BRIDGE
At the cross I saw the light - At the cross I saw the King
Amazing grace beyond degree - Amazing love beyond degree
