Primary Scripture: 1 John 3:7

Verse 1

Come view the cross where Jesus died, By cruel hands was crucified; O wondrous tho't, how could it be? That He should die for even me.

Chorus

Alone, alone, on Calvary, He bore the shame and misery, O wondrous love, how could it be, That He should die for even me.

Verse 2

The sweetest song on mortal tongue, Or earthly voices ever sung, As of the One on Calvary, Who gives to all salvation free.

Chorus

Alone, alone, on Calvary, He bore the shame and misery, O wondrous love, how could it be, That He should die for even me.

Verse 3

No other One is heav'nly bliss Could e'er conceive a love like this; He left His home in glory there And came to earth our sins to bear.

Chorus

Alone, alone, on Calvary, He bore the shame and misery, O wondrous love, how could it be, That He should die for even me.
