Lead Me to Calvary

lyricist: Jennie Hussey, 1921
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

King of my life

I crown Thee now

Thine shall the glo­ry be;

Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow

Lead me to Cal­va­ry.

Lest I forget Geth­se­ma­ne

Lest I for­get Thine ago­ny;

Lest I for­get Thy love for me

Lead me to Cal­va­ry.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid

Tenderly mourned and wept;

Angels in robes of light ar­rayed

Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Let me like Ma­ry

through the gloom

Come with a gift to Thee;

Show to me now the emp­ty tomb

Lead me to Cal­va­ry.

May I be will­ing

Lord

to bear

Daily my cross for Thee;

Even Thy cup of grief to share

Thou hast borne all for me.
