129 - At the Cross
Alas! and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm 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.
2.
Was it for crimes that I have 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 rolled away It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day.
3.
Well might the sun in darkens hide And shut its glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin.
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.
4.
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!
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.
