D Dsus2 D A Asus2 D G D Em D A
1 A-las! and did my Savi- or bleed? And did my Sov-'reign die?
2 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned up -on the tree?
3 Well might the sun in dark -ness hide And shut His glo-ries in,
4 But drops of grief can ne'er re -pay The debt of love I owe.
D Dsus2 D D G D A A7 D
1 Would He de- vote that sa- cred head For such a worm as I!
2 A-maz -ing pit-y! grace un- known! And love be-yond de- gree!
3 When Christ, the might-y Mak - er, died For man the crea-ture's sin.
4 Here, Lord, I give my- self a- way 'Tis all that I can do!
Chorus

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
A Asus4 A7 D

It was there by faith I received my sight,
A A7 D
And now I am hap-py all the day!

1 Be-neath the cross of Je-sus I fain would take my stand
2 Up-on that cross of Je-sus Mine eye at times can see
3 I take, O cross, thy shad-ow For my a - bid-ing place;
Am B/G C6 Caug Dm C7m F6 F7 E
1 The shad-ow of a might-y rock With -in a wea-ry land;
2 The ver-y dy -ing form of One Who suf-fered there for me;

Am Am9 F A/C# Dm
1 A home with-in the wil-der-ness, A rest up -on the way,

3 Con-tent to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss,
G G7 C C/F F C G G7 C
1 From the burn-ing of the noon-tide heat, And the bur-den of the day.

3. See, from His head, Hi-s hands, His feet,
4. Were the whole realm o -f na -ture mine,
F Gm F Gm F G7 C
1. On which the Prince o-f glo -ry died,
2. Save in the death o-f Christ, my God;

1. My rich -est gain I count but loss,
2. All the vain things that charm me most,
3. Did e'er such love and sor -row meet,
4. Love so a -maz -ing, so di -vine,
Gm Dm* Gm C7 F
1. And pour con -tempt on all my pride.
2. I sac-ri -fice them to His blood.
3. Or thorns com-pose so rich a crown?
4. De-mands my soul, my life, my all.
