1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Refrain:
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!
2 Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut its glories in,
When Christ, the mighty maker, died
For his own creature's sin. [Refrain]
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]
5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do. [Refrain]

1 Herido, triste, a Jesús
mostréle mi dolor;
perdido, errante, vi su luz,
bendíjome en su amor.
Estribillo:
En la cruz, en la cruz, do primero vi la luz,
y las manchas de mi alma yo lavé;
fue allí por fe do vi a Jesús,
y siempre feliz con él seré.
2 Sobre una cruz mi buen Jesús
su sangre derramó
por este pobre pecador,
a quien así salvó. [Estribillo]
3 Venció a la muerte con poder
y el Padre le exaltó;
confiar en él es mi placer,
morir no temo yo. [Estribillo]
4 Aunque él se fue, conmigo está
el gran Consolador;
por él entrada tengo ya
al reino del Señor. [Estribillo]
5 Vivir en Cristo me da paz;
con él habitaré;
ya suyo soy, y de hoy en más
a nadie temeré. [Estribillo]
