On Calvary's brow my Savior died
'Twas there my Lord was crucified;
'Twas on the cross He bled for me,
And purchased there my pardon free.
'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 Savior died for me.
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
O Calvary! blest Calvary!
'Twas there my Savior died for me.

'Mid rending rocks and darkening skies
My Savior bows His head and dies;
The opening veil reveals the way
To life divine and endless day.
My Savior bows His head and dies;
The opening veil reveals the way
To life divine 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!
That Thou shouldst give Thy life for me,
To bear the cross and agony
In that dread hour on Calvary!
