At The
Cross
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For
there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who
gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
time,
Words: Isaac Watts,
Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707; Ralph E. Hudson wrote the refrain in
1885.
Music: “Martyrdom,” Hugh Wilson, 1800; arranged by Ralph E. Hudson,
circa 1885.
Alas!
and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that
sacred head
For sinners such as I?
[originally, For such a worm as
I?]
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!
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus,
Thine,
And bathed in its own blood;
While all exposed to wrath
divine,
The glorious Sufferer stood.
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!
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the
tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
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!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories
in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s
sin.
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!
Thus might I hide my blushing
face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in
thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
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!
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I
owe:
Here, Lord, I give my self away
’Tis all that I can
do.
