hymnal 151
1 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, where I first sawt he light, and burden ofmy 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!
At the cross, where I first sawt he light, and burden ofmy heart rolled away,
it was there by faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day!
3 No tears of grief can ever repay the debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord< i give myself away; 'tis all that I can do!'
At the cross, where I first sawt he light, and burden ofmy heart rolled away,
it was there by faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day!
