On Cal­vr’y’s brow my Sav­ior died,
’Twas there my Lord was cru­ci­fied;
’Twas on the cross He bled for me,
And pur­chased there my par­don free.

Refrain

O Cal­va­ry! dark Cal­va­ry!
Where Je­sus shed His blood for me;
O Cal­va­ry! blest Cal­va­ry!
’Twas there my Sav­ior died for me.

’Mid rend­ing rocks and dark­en­ing skies,
My Sav­ior bows His head and dies;
The op­en­ing veil re­veals the way
To Hea­ven’s joys and end­less day.

Refrain

O Je­sus, Lord, how can it be,
That Thou shouldst give Thy life for me,
To bear the cross and ago­ny
In that dread hour on Cal­va­ry!
