Jesus, the Crucified

lyricist: H. D. Spear, 1909
Composer: Fred Shepard

On dark Cal­va­ry stands a cru­el tree

Where Christ the Sav­ior died;

And the love thus shown doth for sin atone—

Jesus the Cru­ci­fied.

O pre­cious cross of Cal­va­ry

Where Christ the Sav­ior died

Pouring forth His blood

a re­deem­ing flood—

Jesus

the Cru­ci­fied.

All my sins I bring to the cross and cling

Where Christ the Sav­ior died;

And He speaks re­lease

gives my soul sweet peace—

Jesus

the Cru­ci­fied.

On this sac­red hill pre­cious me­mo­ries thrill

Where Christ the Sav­ior died;

And I count but loss all be­side the cross—

Jesus the Cru­ci­fied.

Come un­to the Lord

hear His par­don­ing word

Where Christ the Sav­ior died;

All your bur­dens lay at His feet to­day—

Jesus

the Cru­ci­fied.
