Hymn Chords

163. At the Cross

E                                  A   E  B7  E      B
Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov-ereign die?

E                       A    E        A       E    B7  E
Would He devote that sa-cred head For someone such as  I?

E                          A     E  B7
At the cross, at the cross where I  first saw the light,

B7                                E
And the burden of my heart rolled away,

       A                   E
It was there by faith I re-ceived my sight,

    A        B7            E
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.
