On Calvary'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.
Oh Calvary! dark Calvary!
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
Oh Calvary! blest Calvary!
'Twas there my Saviour died for me.
Mid rending rocks and darkening skies,
My Saviour bows His head and dies;
The opened veil reveals the way
To heaven's joys and endless day.
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?
