Representative Text

1 In dreams in vain I’ve tried to trace
The glory of my Saviour’s face;
His splendor gleams beyond my dreams,
When I remember Calvary.

Refrain:
Oh, Calvary! Blest Calvary!
Where Jesus gave Himself for me;
His matchless face, by faith I trace,
When I remember Calvary.

2 The thorns that pierced His sacred brow,
Are changed to precious trophies now,
And ev’ry scar shines like a star,
When I remember Calvary. [Refrain]

3 No mortal can with Him compare,
Nor star, nor sun His beauty share;
Unrivaled grace enshrines His face
When I remember Calvary. [Refrain]

4 How precious is His blessed Name,
Since love transformed the cross of shame
Thru burning tears His face appears,
When I remember Calvary. [Refrain]
