Hymn Chords

163. At the Cross

D                                  G   D  A7  D      A
Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov-ereign die?

D                       G    D        G       D    A7  D
Would He devote that sa-cred head For someone such as  I?

D                          G     D  A7
At the cross, at the cross where I  first saw the light,

A7                                D
And the burden of my heart rolled away,

       G                   D
It was there by faith I re-ceived my sight,

    G        A7            D
And now I am happy all the day!


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For someone 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.

[Verse 2]
Was it for crimes that I have done,
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

[Verse 3]
But drops of tears can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
‘Tis all that I can do.
