Text: | Lead Me to Calvary |
Author: | Jennie E. Hussey, 1874-1958 |
Tune: | DUNCANNON |
Composer: | William J. Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921 |
1 King of my life I crown thee now --
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget thine agony,
Lest I forget thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
2 Show me the tomb where thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded thee whilst thou slept. [Refrain]
3 Let me like Mary, thru the gloom,
Come with a gift to thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb --
Lead me to Calvary. [Refrain]
4 May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for thee;
Even thy cup of grief to share --
Thou hast borne all for me. [Refrain]
