Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
On Calv'ry'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.
Verse 2
Mid rending rocks and dark'ning skies, My Savior bows His head and dies; The op'ning vail reveals the way To heaven's joys and endless days.
Verse 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.
Chorus
O, Calvary! dark Calvary! Where Jesus shed His blood for me; for me; O, Calvary! blest Calvary! 'Twas there my Savior died for me.
