132. The Cross of Calvary

1 Is your life a heavy burden,
Would your soul from sin be free?
Grace enough for every sin awaits you
At the cross of Calvary.

Refrain:
Oh, the cross of Calvary,
Blessed cross of Calvary,
Where my Savior gave Himself for me;
Though rejected and denied,
He for me was crucified
On the cruel cross of Calvary.

2 Hear His voice so sweetly sounding:
“Weary one, come unto Me!”
Whosoever will may seek and find Him
At the cross of Calvary. [Refrain]

3 Christ has died for our salvation,
Shall we slight His loving plea?
Oh, believe, receive, confess and own Him
At the cross of Calvary. [Refrain]
