Calvary's Praises ‎#2

2. Calvary

1 I love the story sweet and old,
Of Christ the Lord who died for me;
The sweetest story ever told,
Of pardon bought on Calvary.

Refrain:
My faith still clings to Calvary,
To Calvary, to Calvary,
Where lifted up for you and me,
The Son of God I see;
His precious blood my only plea,
My only plea, my only plea,
He poured it out on Calvary,
For me, on Calvary.

2 My sins like mountains high were piled,
Oh, where should I for refuge flee?
When sweet the voice of mercy cried,
“Look up and trust in Calvary.” [Refrain]

3 Praise God! I cried, my faith prevails,
My sins are gone and I am free;
Forevermore the blood avails,
The cleansing stream of Calvary! [Refrain]

4 His arms of grace stand open wide,
Inviting sinners such as we;
For me and all the world beside,
There’s mercy still at Calvary. [Refrain]
