At the Cross
##
Isaac Watts
E
Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
E A E B7/F# E B
And did my Sov- ’reign die?
E A/E E
Would He devote that sacred head
F#m/A E/B B7 E
For sinners such as I?
A/E E B
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 received my sight,
F#m/A B7 E
And now I am happy all the day!
E
Was it for crimes that I have done
E A E B7/F# E B
He groaned upon the tree?
E A/E E
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
F#m/A E/B B7 E
And love beyond degree!
E
Well might the sun in darkness hide
E A E B7/F# E B
And shut His glor----ies in,
E A/E E
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
F#m/A E/B B7 E
For man, the creature’s sin.
E
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
E A E B7/F# E B
The debt of love I owe.
E A/E E
Here, Lord, I give myself a--way;
F#m/A E/B B7 E
‘Tis all that I can do!
