^{————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Alas and did my Savior bleed and did my Sov'reign 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 have done He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity grace unknown and love beyond degree!

^{————————— 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

^{————————— Verse 4: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Thus might I hide my blushing face while Calvary's cross appears

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness and melt mine eyes to tears

^{————————— Verse 5: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

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!
