There is a dear and hallowed spot
Oft present to my eye—
By saints it ne’er can be forgot—
That place is Calvary.
Oh, what a scene was there displayed
Of love and agony,
When our Redeemer bowed his head,
And died on Calvary!
When fainting under guilt's dread load,
Unto the cross I'll fly;
And trust the merit of that blood
Which flowed at Calvary.
Whene’er I feel temptation's power,
On Jesus I'll rely;
And, in the sharp, con?icting hour,
Repair to Calvary.
When seated at the feast of love,
Then will I ?x mine eye
On him who intercedes above,
Who bled on Calvary.
When the dark scene of death, the last
momentous hour draws nigh,
Then, with my dying eyes, I l cast
A look on Calvary.
