- Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
 and did my Sovereign die?
 Would he devote that sacred head
 for sinners such as I?Refrain 
 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!
- Was it for crimes that I have done, 
 he groaned upon the tree?
 Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
 And love beyond degree!
- But drops of grief can ne’er repay 
 the debt of love I owe:
 Here, Lord, I give myself away;
 ’tis all that I can do!
