On Calvary's brow my Savior died
|
|
| 1. | On Calvary'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. |
| | Chorus: |
| | O Calvary! dark Calvary! |
| | Where Jesus shed His blood for me; |
| | O Calvary! blest Calvary! |
| | 'Twas there my Savior died for me. |
| 2. | 'Mid rending rocks and darkening skies |
| | My Savior bows His head and dies; |
| | The opening veil reveals the way |
| | To life divine and endless day. |
| 3. | 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! |
