AT THE CROSS Isaac Watts Alas! And did my Savior bleed? And did my Sovreign die? Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I! 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! Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 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! Well might the sun in darkness hide and shut His glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died for man the creatures sin. 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! But drops of grief can neer repay the debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away tis all that I can do! 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! Cross-References: Matt 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? John 19:23-24 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

Key Thot:

The cross is the glory of the crown
