On Calvary's brow . . my Saviour died, . . âTwas there my Lord . . was cruci-fied : . . 'Twas on the cross . . He bled for me, . . And purchased there . . my pardon free.
O Calvary ! dark Calvary ! Where Jesus shed His blood for me : . . O Calvary 1 blest Calvary ! 'Twas there my Saviour died for me.
2. âMid rending rocks . . and darkening skies, . . My Saviour bows . . His head and dies; . . The opening vail . . reveals the way . . To heaven's joys . . and endless day.
3. O Jesus, Lord, . . how can it be, . . That Thou shouldst give . . Thy life for me ?â . . To bear the cross . . and agony, . . In that dread hour . . on Calvary!
