Author: Avis B. Christiansen Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #112 (2001) First Line: Up Calv'ry's mountain, one dreadful morn Refrain First Line: Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer! Lyrics: 1 Up Calv'ry's mountain, one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn;
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
That He might save them from endless loss.
Refrain:
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree,
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading–
Blind and unheeding - dying for me!
2 "Father, forgive them!" thus did He pray,
E'en while His lifeblood flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners while in such woe–
No one but Jesus ever loved so. [Refrain]
3 O how I love Him, Savior and Friend!
How can my praises ever find end!
Thru years unnumbered on heaven's shore,
My tongue shall praise Him forevermore. [Refrain]
