The Cross of Calvary (Coleman)

Upon the rug­ged mount­ain side

Our Sav­ior trudged along;

Surrounded by the an­gry mob

And crowd­ed by the throng;

But pa­tient­ly He bore the cross

To ran­som you and me;

He went to pay the price up­on

The cross of Cal­va­ry.

Upon the cross of Cal­va­ry He died

And Heav­en’s pear­ly gates were op­ened wide

He gave His life to ran­som you and me—

He paid the price up­on

The lone­ly cross of Cal­va­ry.

The sun re­fused to shine up­on

That scene on Cal­va­ry;

Where Je­sus died in ago­ny

To set the sin­ner free;

Our Sav­ior

brok­en heart­ed

died

That we might look and live

And in His dy­ing breath He cried

Oh

Father

please for­give.

This ten­der

lov­ing Sav­ior

still

Inviting us to come

Is call­ing from His throne ab­ove

Oh

wan­d’ring child

come home;

Believe on Him

He paid the price

On rug­ged Cal­va­ry;

He bore the cross

He gave His life

To ran­som you and me.
