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

- Was it for crimes that I have done,
- 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!
