On the cross of Cal­va­ry,
Jesus died for you and me;
There He shed His pre­cious blood,
That from sin we might be free.
O the cleans­ing stream does flow,
And it wash­es white as snow!
It was for me that Je­sus died
On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

On Cal­va­ry! On Cal­va­ry!
It was for me that Je­sus died
On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

O what won­drous, won­drous love
Brought me down at Je­sus’ feet!
O such won­drous, dy­ing love
Asks a sac­ri­fice com­plete!
Here I give my­self to Thee,
Soul and bo­dy, Thine to be;
It was for me Thy blood was shed
On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

Take me, Je­sus, I am Thine,
Wholly Thine, for­ev­er­more;
Blessèd Je­sus, Thou art mine,
Dwell with­in for­ev­er­more;
Cleanse, O cleanse my heart from sin,
Make and keep me pure with­in!
It was for this Thy blood was shed
On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Refrain

Clouds and dark­ness veiled the sky
When the Lord was cru­ci­fied;
It is fin­ished! was His cry
When He bowed His head and died.
With this cry from Cal­v’ry’s tree
All the world may now go free;
It was for this that Je­sus died
On the cross of Cal­va­ry.
