Up Calvary’s mountain,
one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Savior,
weary and worn;
Facing for sinners
death on the cross,
That He might save them
from endless loss.
Blessèd Redeemer!
Precious Redeemer!
Seems I now see Him
on Calvary’s tree;
Wounded and bleeding,
for sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding—dying for me!
“Father forgive them!”
thus did He pray,
E’en while His lifeblood
flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners
while in such woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so.
Blessèd Redeemer!
Precious Redeemer!
Seems I now see Him
on Calvary’s tree;
Wounded and bleeding,
for sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding—dying for me!
O how I love Him, Savior and Friend,
How can my praises ever find end!
Through years unnumbered
on heaven’s shore,
My tongue shall
praise Him forevermore.
Blessèd Redeemer!
Precious Redeemer!
Seems I now see Him
on Calvary’s tree;
Wounded and bleeding,
for sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding—dying for me!
