O Calvary
Jessie Brown Pounds • English
Primary Scripture: Luke 23:33
Verse 1
O cross of grief and anguish sore, Whereon the dying Christ we see! For us the awful pangs He bore That broke His heart, on Calvary.
Chorus
O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Christ once died to set us free! O Calvary, O Calvary, A world’s redemption came thro’ thee!
Verse 2
O cross of scorn and dark’ning shame, The heartless passers sneered at thee, And mock’d with cruel lips the claim Of Him who died on Calvary!
Chorus
O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Christ once died to set us free! O Calvary, O Calvary, A world’s redemption came thro’ thee!
Verse 3
O cross of everlasting pow’r, The sing of triumphs yet to be! Our Lord, raised up in that dread hour, Shall draw mankind to Calvary.
Chorus
O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Christ once died to set us free! O Calvary, O Calvary, A world’s redemption came thro’ thee!
