At the Cross
Words: Isaac Watts 1707
Music: Ralph Hudson 1885
Eb Gm Ab Fm Bb
Alas and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sov’reign die?
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
Would He devote that sacred head, for sinners such as I?
Eb Gm Ab Fm Bb
Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree?
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree
Eb Fm Bb
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light
Fm Bb Eb
And the burden of my heart rolled away
Ab Eb Cm
It was there by faith I received my sight
Fm Bb Eb
And now I am happy all the day
Eb Gm Ab Fm Bb
Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut His glories in
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
When Christ the mighty Maker died, for man, the creature’s, sin
Eb Gm Ab Fm Bb
Thus might I hide my blushing face, while Calv’ry’s cross appears
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears
Eb Gm Ab Fm Bb
But drops of grief can ne’er repay the debt of love I owe
Eb Gm Ab Bb Eb
Here Lord, I give myself away, tis all that I can do
Eb Fm Bb
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light
Fm Bb Eb
And the burden of my heart rolled away
Ab Eb Cm
It was there by faith I received my sight
Fm Bb Eb
And now I am happy all the day
