Alas And Did My Savior Bleed

Bm D G F# (2x)


[Verse 1]

  Bm             A
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
    G                F#
And did my Sovereign die?
      Bm             A
Would He devote that sacred head
    Em     A     D
For such a worm as I?


[Chorus]

       D                           Em
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
        A                          D
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
       G        Em        F#7       Bm
It was there by faith I received my sight,
    Em       A             D          F#
And now I am happy all the day!


[Verse 2]

    Bm                 A
Was it for crimes that I had done
   G                F#7
He groaned upon the tree?
 Bm           A
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
    Em     A      D
And love beyond degree!


[Chorus]

       D                           Em
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
        A                          D
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
       G        Em        F#7       Bm
It was there by faith I received my sight,
    Em       A             D         D      F#
And now I am happy all the day!



[Bridge]

     Bm              A
Thus might I hide my blushing face
      G                F#7
While His dear cross appears,
   Bm                A
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
    Em      A       D
And melt my eyes to tears.



[Chorus]

       D                           Em
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
        A                          D
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
       G        Em        F#7       Bm
It was there by faith I received my sight,
    Em       A             D
And now I am happy all the day!

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,

Would He devote that sacred head
