Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign 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, 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, rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now And now And now I am happy all the day! all the day!
