On Calv’ry’s brow my Saviour died,
‘Twas there my Lord was crucified:
‘Twas on the cross He bled for me,
And purchased there my pardon free.
O Calvary! Dark Calvary!
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
O Calvary, blest Calvary!
‘Twas there my Saviour died for me.
‘Mid rending rocks
and dark’ning skies,
My Saviour bows His head and dies;
The op’ning veil reveals the way
To heaven’s joys and endless day.
O Calvary! Dark Calvary!
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
O Calvary, blest Calvary!
‘Twas there my Saviour died for me.
O Jesus, Lord, how can it be,
That Thou shouldst give
Thy life for me?—
To bear the cross and agony,—
In that dread hour on Calvary!
O Calvary! Dark Calvary!
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
O Calvary, blest Calvary!
‘Twas there my Saviour died for me.
