D G A
Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die?
D A D
Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I.
D A
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
D
And the burden of my heart rolled away, ( rolled away )
G D
It was there by faith I received my sight,
A D
And now I am happy all the day!
D G A
Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree?
D A D
Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree?
D G A
Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut his glories in.
D A D
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died for man the creatures sin.
D G A
But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe.
D A D
Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'tis all that I can do!
