On Calvary's Brow My Saviour Died
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.
It was on the cross he shed his blood,
It was there he was crucified;
But he rose again, and he lives in my heart
Where all is peace and perfect love.
Oh Calvary, dark Calvary,
Where Jesus shed his blood for me.
Oh Calvary, dark Calvary:
Speak to my heart of Calvary.
‘Mid rending rocks and darkening skies,
My Saviour bows his head and dies;
The opening veil reveals the way
To Heaven’s joys and endless day.
Oh 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?
