28. Lead Me to Calvary

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, thro' 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]
