O Calvary

Verse 1

O blessed Lamb of God so dear! For Thou hast come my heart to cheer; Thy blood alone hath made me free, That cleansing stream from Calvary.

Chorus

O Calvary, dark Calvary, There Jesus bore the cross for me; O Calvary, dark Calvary, Hark! hear Him groan for you and me.

Verse 2

Thou suffering One! Thy blood was shed, A crown of thorns was on Thy head; Oh, Thou didst bear such pain for me, Upon the cross of Calvary.

Verse 3

My gracious Lord, I will adore, Through love He did my soul restore; I heard Him gently calling me, In melting tones from Calvary.

Verse 4

That crimson stream flows from Thy side, O fountain great, so deep and wide; My sins are gone, it reaches me, That precious blood of Calvary.
