Wondrous light from Cal­va­ry,
Every wan­dering one may see,
For ’tis kind­ly, bright­ly gleam­ing each day;
With the eye of faith be­hold,
And be guid­ed to the fold,
From its bless­èd re­fuge ne­ver to stray.

Refrain

Wondrous light from Cal­va­ry,
Thro’ each day my pi­lot be!
Safely o’er the rug­ged heights,
Thro’ the dark and cheer­less nights,
Lead me home, O Cal­va­ry’s won­drous light!

Glorious light from Cal­va­ry,
Oh! how pre­cious un­to me
Since I saw its gen­tle beck­on­ing gleam!
I was bow­ing ’neath a load
On sin’s bleak and rug­ged road,
When it pierced the gloom in beau­ty su­preme.

Refrain

Fadeless light from Cal­va­ry,
For the mill­ions shin­ing free,
Flash it forth up­on the de­so­late waste;
Precious souls are sink­ing there,
In the depths of dark des­pair,
Will you, Chris­tian, to their res­cue then haste?

Refrain
