At The Cross sung by the Haven Quartet from the album, Be Ye Holy. Also known as, "Alas and Did My Saviour Bleed".

Isaac Watts wrote many papers for places of higher learning but his most famous work is the hymn, "Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed." Watts was born July 17, 1674, at Southampton, England. Such compelling lyrics came from a child born into a home of "non-Comformists" during the times when the Church of England persecuted Dissenters and Independents. His father was jailed twice during this time of persecution. Despite the fact that this era of intolerance lasted only a short while; it had a significant effect on Watts. In 1707, Watts wrote the lyrics to "Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed." One line echoes such a impact, "Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree?"
