And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred head,

For such a worm as I.

Refrain

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 have done,

He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity, grace unknown,

And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide

And shut His glories in;

When Christ the mighty Maker died

For man, the creature’s sin.

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.

Amen
