Lyrics

Of all in earth or Hea­ven,
The dear­est name to me,
Is the match­less name of Je­sus,
The Christ of Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

The Christ of Cal­va­ry,
The dear­est name to me,
Is the match­less name of Je­sus,
The Christ of Cal­va­ry.

I can­not help but love Him,
And tell His love to me;
For He became my ran­som,
The Christ of Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

I could not live with­out Him,
His love is life to me;
My blood-bought life I give Him,
The Christ of Cal­va­ry.
