Calvary |
There’s a hill lone and grey |
In a land far away, |
In a country beyond the blue sea; |
Where beneath that fair sky, |
Went a man forth to die, |
For the world and for you and for me. |
Oh, it bowed down my heart |
And the teardrops will start, |
When in memory all the grey hill I see; |
For 'twas there on its side |
Jesus suffered and died, |
To redeem a poor sinner like me. |
Behold, faint on the road, |
'Neath the world’s heavy load, |
Comes a thorn-crowned man on the way; |
With a cross, he is bowed, |
But still on through the crowd, |
He’s ascending that hill lone and grey. |
Hark, I hear the dull blow |
Of the hammer swung low; |
They are nailing my Lord to the tree |
And the cross they up-raise |
While the multitude gaze |
On the blessed Lamb of dark Calvary. |
Oh, it bowed down my heart |
And the teardrops will start, |
When in memory all the grey hill I see; |
For 'twas there on its side |
Jesus suffered and died, |
To redeem a poor sinner like me. |
How they mocked him in death |
To his last laboring breath, |
While His friends sadly wept o’er the way. |
But though lonely and faint, |
Still no word of complaint |
Fell from Him on that hillock of grey. |
Then a darkness come down |
And the rocks went around, |
And a cry pierced the sad-laden air; |
'Twas the voice of our King, |
Who received death’s dark sting, |
All to save us from endless despair. |
Let the sun hide its face, |
Let the earth reel space, |
Over man who their Savior have slain; |
But, behold, from the sod |
Comes the blessed Lamb of God, |
Who was slain, but is risen again. |
Oh, it bowed down my heart |
And the teardrops will start, |
When in memory all the grey hill I see; |
For 'twas there on its side |
Jesus suffered and died, |
To redeem a poor sinner like me. |
