E 
Alas, and did my Savior bleed, 
                  B7 
And did my Savior die? 
      E 
Would He devote that sacred head, 
           B7       E 
For such a thing as I? 
  
E 
At the cross, at the cross, 
        B7 
Where I first saw the light, 
                                    E 
And the burden of my heart rolled a-way, 
       A                             E  
It was there by faith I re-ceived my sight, 
             B7            E 
And now I am happy all the day! 
 
E 
Was it for crimes that I have done, 
                    B7 
He groaned upon the tree? 
  E 
A-mazing pity, grace unknown, 
            B7      E 
And love be-yond de-gree. 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
E 
Well might the sun in darkness hide, 
                     B7 
And shut His glories in? 
     E 
When Christ the mighty Maker died, 
            B7         E 
For man the creature's sin. 
 
 
Chorus 
 
E 
But drops of grief can ne'er repay, 
                   B7 
The debt of love I owe. 
      E 
Here, Lord, I give myself to You, 
                B7    E 
That's all that I can do!
