 1 

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.

 

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.

 

O Calvary! Dark Calvary!

Where Jesus shed His blood for me;

O Calvary! Blest Calvary!

'Twas there my Savior died for me.

 
 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!

 

O Calvary! Dark Calvary!

Where Jesus shed His blood for me;

O Calvary! Blest Calvary!

'Twas there my Savior died for me.
