Lyrics

O soul, from Cal­v’ry’s cross
A voice is call­ing thee,
The voice of Him who died
To make you free.

Refrain

He gave His life for thee,
He gave His life for me,
And still in pa­tient love,
He pleads now with thee.

They nailed Him to the cross,
With thorns they pierced His brow,
O come in faith alone,
And trust Him now.

Refrain

’Tis done, My work is o’er;
O hear His bit­ter cry,
That shook the trem­bling earth,
And rent the sky.

Refrain

He died, but lives again;
O bless­èd truth di­vine!
Thro’ Him eter­nal joy
May yet be thine!
