Lyrics
Alas! and did my Savior Bleed, and did my Sov'reign die?
Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?
At the cross, where I saw the Light,
and the burden of my heart rolled away.
It was there by faith I recieved my sight,
and now I am happy all the day,
And now I am happy all the day!
Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing piety, grace unknown, and love beyond degree!
But drops of grief can e'er repay the debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do!
At the cross, where I saw the light,
and the burden of my heart rolled away.
And now I am happy all the day!
