134. Blessed Calvary

1 I look at the cross upon Calvary,
And O what a wonder divine!
To think of the wealth it holds for me—
The riches of heaven are mine.

Refrain:
Blessed Calvary! Precious Calvary!
’Neath thy shadow I’ll ever abide.
Blessed Calvary! Precious Calvary!
’Twas there Jesus suffered and died.

2 I find at the cross blessed victory,
And grace for each step of my way;
The fount of God’s love is flowing free,
And sweeter it grows day by day. [Refrain]

3 The cross is my hope for eternity–
No merit have I of my own;
The shed blood of Christ my only plea—
My trust is in Jesus alone. [Refrain]
