On the Cross of Calvary

On the cross of Cal­va­ry

Jesus died for you and me;

There He shed His pre­cious blood

That from sin we might be free.

O the cleans­ing stream does flow

And it wash­es white as snow!

It was for me that Je­sus died

On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

On Cal­va­ry! On Cal­va­ry!

It was for me that Je­sus died

On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

O what won­drous

won­drous love

Brought me down at Je­sus’ feet!

O such won­drous

dy­ing love

Asks a sac­ri­fice com­plete!

Here I give my­self to Thee

Soul and bo­dy

Thine to be;

It was for me Thy blood was shed

On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Take me

Je­sus

I am Thine

Wholly Thine

for­ev­er­more;

Blessèd Je­sus

Thou art mine

Dwell with­in for­ev­er­more;

Cleanse

O cleanse my heart from sin

Make and keep me pure with­in!

It was for this Thy blood was shed

On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Clouds and dark­ness veiled the sky

When the Lord was cru­ci­fied;

It is fin­ished! was His cry

When He bowed His head and died.

With this cry from Cal­v’ry’s tree

All the world may now go free;

It was for this that Je­sus died

On the cross of Cal­va­ry.
