Calvary

On Calvr'y's brow my Savior died,

'Twas there my Lord was crucified;

'Twas on the cross He bled for me,

And purchased there my pardon free.

Refrain

O Calvary! dark Calvary!

Where Jesus shed His blood for me;

O Calvary! blest Calvary!

'Twas there my Savior died for me.

'Mid rending rocks and dark'ning skies,

My Savior bows His head and dies;

The op'ning veil reveals the way

To Heaven's joys and endless day.

Refrain

O Jesus, Lord, how can it be,

That Thou shouldst give Thy life for me,

To bear the cross and agony

In that dread hour on Calvary!
