Let Me Dwell on Golgotha

lyricist: John Newton, 1779
Composer: William Monk, 1875

Let me dwell on Gol­go­tha

Weep and love my life away!

While I see Him on the tree

Weep and bleed

and die for me!

That dear blood

for sin­ners spilt

Shows my sin in all its guilt:

Ah

my soul

He bore thy load

Thou hast slain the Lamb of God.

Hark! His dy­ing words; For­give

Father

let the sin­ner live;

Sinner

wipe thy tears away

I thy ran­som free­ly pay.

While I hear this grace re­vealed

And ob­tain a par­don sealed;

All my soft af­fect­ions move

Wakened by the force of love.

Farewell world

thy gold is dross

Now I see the bleed­ing cross;

Jesus died to set me free

From the law

and sin

and thee!

He has dear­ly bought my soul

Lord

ac­cept

and claim the whole!

To Thy will I all re­sign

Now

no more my own

but Thine.
