O wond’rous day when I was saved, When I was saved from guilt and sin; O wond’rous change wrought in my heart, When Jesus came and entered in.

O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Jesus gave His life for me, From home in heav’n, to earth He came, To shed His blood, endure the shame; O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Jesus gave His life for me.

O wond’rous light that shone on me, That made me see His love divine; A sinner frail, a sin-sick soul No more am I, for He is mine.

O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Jesus gave His life for me, From home in heav’n, to earth He came, To shed His blood, endure the shame; O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Jesus gave His life for me.

O wond’rous day when I behold My coming Lord in yonder sky; The story then will all be told, How He, in love, came forth to die.

Chorus

O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Jesus gave His life for me, From home in heav’n, to earth He came, To shed His blood, endure the shame; O Calvary, O Calvary, Where Jesus gave His life for me.
