Alas! And Did My Savior Come

Verse 1

G   D
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
C       G
And did my Sovereign die?
G       D
Would He devote that sacred head
C          G
For sinners such as I?

Chorus

G       D
At the cross, at the cross
C          G
Where I first saw the light
G          D
And the burden of my heart rolled away
C              G
It was there by faith I received my sight
G            D
And now I am happy all the day

Verse 2

G       D
Was it for crimes that I had done
C            G
He groaned upon the tree?
G         D
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
C             G
And love beyond degree!

Verse 3

G        D
Well might the sun in darkness hide
C              G
And shut its glories in,
G             D
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
C                G
For man the creature's sin.
