At the Cross

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!
