At The Cross

Verse 1

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

and the burden of my heart rolled away
it was there by faith ireciived 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 ireciived my sight
and now i am happy all the day!

Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when God, the mighty maker, died
for his own creature's sin.

and the burden of my heart rolled away
it was there by faith ireciived my sight
and now i am happy all the day!

Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.

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 ireciived my sight
and now i am happy all the day!

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.

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 ireciived my sight
and now i am happy all the day!
