\nAlas! and did my Savior bleed,
\nand did my Sovereign die?
\nWould he devote that sacred head
\nfor sinners such as I?<\/p>\n
Refrain
\nAt the cross, at the cross,
\nwhere I first saw the light,
\nand the burden of my heart rolled away;
\nit was there by faith I received my sight,
\nand now I am happy all the day!<\/p>\n

\nWas it for crimes that I have done,
\nhe groaned upon the tree?
\nAmazing pity! Grace unknown!
\nAnd love beyond degree!<\/p>\n

\nBut drops of grief can ne’er repay
\nthe debt of love I owe:
\nHere, Lord, I give myself away;
\n’tis all that I can do!<\/p>\n
