Down at the Cross
1. Alas and did my Savior bleed,
And did my sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head,
For sinner such as I?
And did my sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head,
For sinner such as I?
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my 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
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity grace unknown,
And love beyond degree
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
3. Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in;
When Christ the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature's sin.
And shut His glories in;
When Christ the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature's sin.
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
4. But drops of grief can ne'er repay,
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself to away
'Tis all that I can do!
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself to away
'Tis all that I can do!
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
5. Thus might I hide my blushing face
While Calvary's cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
While Calvary's cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
