Calvary

Verse 1

On Calvary’s brow my Saviour died, ‘Twas there my Lord was crucified; ‘Twas on the cross he bled for me, And purchased there my pardon free.

Chorus

It was on the cross he shed his blood, It was there he was crucified; But he rose again, and he lives in my heart Where all is peace and perfect love.

Chorus 2

O Calvary, dark Calvary, Where Jesus shed his blood for me. O Calvary, dark Calvary: Speak to my heart of Calvary.

Verse 2

‘Mid rending rocks and darkening skies, My Saviour bows his head and dies; The opening veil reveals the way To Heaven’s joys and endless day.

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?
