Hymn: At the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
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!
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3. 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!
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away -
‵Tis all that I can do!
