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!
