AT THE CROSS
   Words--Verses: Isaac Watts (alt.)
          Chorus: Ralph E. Hudson
   Tune: At the Cross, Ralph E. Hudson (1834-1901)

   D         (D9  D)              A7sus D
1  Alas!      and did    my   Sav-ior   bleed?
2  Was   it   for sins  that   I  have  done
3  Well might the sun   in   dark-ness  hide
4  But drops  of  grief can ne'er re  - pay

  (D)  G       D/F# Em   D     A
1  And did     my   Sov-'reign die?
2  He  groaned up - on   the   tree?
3  And shut    his  glo -ries  in,
4  The debt    of   love I     owe:

   D           (D9 D)           G/D  D
1  Would   He   de -vote that sa-cred head
2  A-maz    -   ing pit-y! Grace un - known!
3  When Christ, the mighty   Mak-er,  died
4  Here, Lord,  I   give my-self a  - way--

  (D)  G        D/A  A       D
1  For such  a  worm as      I?
2  And love be -yond de   -  gree!
3  For man, the crea-ture's, sin.
4 'Tis all that I    can     do!

CHORUS
  (D)                        (Dsus  D)A6-A        Adim A
   At the cross, at the cross where I fi-irst saw the  light,

  (A) (A6) A7                 A      A7 D
   And the burden of my heart rolled a -way

  (D)     G                   D        (D9 D)
   It was there by faith I re-ceived my-y  sight,

  (D)  Em/G Em7/G A  (A7 A6  A)  D
   And now  I am  hap-py all the day!
