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
