Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed

+ Show full styles

[Intro] [Verse 1] Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such 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 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 [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 [Bridge] 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 [Outro] Here, Lord, I give myself away 'Tis all that I can do
