36. O Calvary

1 O cross of grief and anguish sore,
Whereon the dying Christ we see!
For us the awful pangs He bore
That broke His heart, on Calvary.

Refrain:
O Calvary, O Calvary,
Where Christ once died to set us free!
O Calvary, O Calvary,
A world’s redemption came thro’ thee!

2 O cross of scorn and dark’ning shame,
The heartless passers sneered at thee,
And mock’d with cruel lips the claim
Of Him who died on Calvary! [Refrain]

3 O cross of everlasting pow’r,
The sing of triumphs yet to be!
Our Lord, raised up in that dread hour,
Shall draw mankind to Calvary. [Refrain]
