On Cal­va­ry’s dist­ant mount­ain
The cross of faith I see,
Where once the Lord of glo­ry
Was cru­ci­fied for me.

Refrain

The cross of my Re­deem­er,
O may I still de­fend,
And through the grace He giv­eth
Be faith­ful to the end.

As on that cross ex­tend­ed,
He suf­fered, bled and died,
To sin­ful thoughts and plea­sures
May I be cru­ci­fied.

Refrain

He bore that cross with pa­tience;
Through sor­row dark and sin,
He bids me now, be­liev­ing,
Take up my cross for Him.

Refrain

Had I no foes to con­quer
No cross on earth to bear,
A vic­tor’s crown of tri­umph,
I could not hope to wear.
