On Calvr’y’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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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!
