CALVARY-John R. Sweney
Calvary
}
On Calv'ry's brow my Saviour died,
'Twas there my Lord was crucified:
'Twas on the cross He bled for me,
And purchased there my pardon free.
Chorus O Calvary! dark Calvary!
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
O Calvary! blest Calvary!
'Twas there my Saviour died for me.
'Mid rending rocks and dark'ning skies,
My Saviour bows his head and dies;
The opening vail reveals the way
To heaven's joys and endless day.
O Jesus, Lord, how can it be,
That Thou shouldst give Thy life for me,
To bear the cross and agony,
In that dread hour On Calvary?
