ON CALVARY'S BROW
1. On Calv'ry'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.
Refrain
O Calvary! dark
Calvary!
Where Jesus shed His
blood for me;
O Calvary! blest
Calvary!
'Twas there my
Savior died for me.
2. '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.
3. 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!
