At the Cross

How Can I Keep from Singng?

Verse 1

Alas and did my Savior bleed

And did my sovereign die

Would he devote that sacred head

For sinners such as I

​

Chorus

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 had done

He groaned upon the tree

Amazing pity grace unknown

And love beyond degree

​

Verse 3

Well might the sun in darkness hide

And shut his glories in

When Christ the mighty maker died

For man the creature's sin

​​

Verse 4

Thus might I hide my blushing face

While Calvary's cross appears

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness

And melt my eyes to tears

​

Verse 5

But drops of grief can ne'er repay

The debt of love I owe

Here Lord I give myself away

'Tis all that I can do
