All the Way to Calvary

lyricist: Virginia Moyer, 1894
Composer: Isaac Meredith

Oh

how dark the night

That wrapped my spir­it round!

Oh

how deep the woe my Sav­ior found

When He walked across the wa­ters of my soul

Bade my night dis­perse and made me whole.

All the way to Cal­va­ry He went for me

He went for me

He went for me;

All the way to Cal­va­ry He went for me

He died to set me free.

Tremblingly a sin­ner bowed be­fore His face

Naught I knew of par­don

God’s free grace;

Heard a voice so melt­ing

Cease thy wild re­gret

Jesus bought thy par­don

paid thy debt.

Oh

’twas won­drous love

The Sav­ior showed for me

When He left His throne for Cal­va­ry

When He trod the wine press

trod it all alone

Praise His name for­ev­er

make it known.
