Alas and did saviour 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

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

But drops of grief cannot repay the debt of love I owe

Here lord I give myself away it’s 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

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
