Hymn #163

At the Cross

Lyrics

Verse 1

Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For someone 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.

Verse 2

Was it for crimes that I have done,
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Verse 3

But drops of tears can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
’Tis all that I can do.
