On Calvary’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.

  Oh Calvary! dark Calvary!
  Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
  Oh Calvary! blest Calvary!
  ’Twas there my Saviour died for me.

Mid rending rocks and darkening skies, 
My Saviour bows His head and dies; 
The opened veil 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?
