On Calvary, on Calvary

Author: Sarah Graham (c 1854-c 1889) Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: On the cross of Calvary Lyrics: 1 On the cross of Calvary, Jesus died for you and me; There he shed his precious blood, That from sin we might be free. O the cleansing stream does flow, And it washes white as snow! It was for me that Jesus died On the cross of Calvary. Refrain: On Calvary, on Calvary! It was for me that Jesus died On the cross at Calvary. 2 O what wondrous, wondrous love Brought me down at Jesus’ feet! O such wondrous, dying love Asks a sacrifice complete! Here I give myself to thee, Soul and body, thine to be; It was for me thy blood was shed On the cross of Calvary. 3 Take me, Jesus, I am thine, Wholly thine, for evermore; Blessèd Jesus, thou art mine, Dwell within for evermore; Cleanse, O cleanse my heart from sin, Make and keep me pure within! It was for this thy blood was shed On the cross of Calvary. 4 Clouds and darkness veiled the sky When the Lord was crucified; It is finished! was his cry When he bowed his head and died. With this cry from Calvary’s tree All the world may now go free; It was for this that Jesus died On the cross of Calvary. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Atoning work

O Christ, who came to share our human life

Author: Catherine Bonnell Arnott Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who came to share our human life, ‘God’s Word made flesh to speak his love for men, Lead us in service to thy holy cause Till sons of earth are sons of God again. 2 O Christ, who dared to stand on trial alone Before the angry mob and Roman might, We seek thy courage; make it now our own That we may stand unflinching for thy right. 3 O Christ, who died with arms outstretched in love For all who lift their faces to thy cross, Fill, thou, our lives with charity divine, Till thou and thine are all, and self is loss. 4 O Christ, who rose victorious over death To loose thy living presence on our earth, Teach us to feel thy greatness till we know, In life and death, the soul’s enduring worth.

We're travelling home to Heaven above

Author: Richard Jukes (1804-67) Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We're travelling home to Heaven above, Will you go? To sing the Saviour’s dying love, Will you go? Millions have reached that blissful shore, Their trials and their labours o’er, And yet there’s room for millions more, Will you go? 2 We’re going to see the bleeding Lamb, Will you go? In rapturous songs to praise his name, Will you go? Our sun will then no more go down, Our moon no more will be withdrawn, Our days of mourning ever gone, Will you go? 3 The way to Heaven is straight and plain, Will you go? Repent, believe, be born again, Will you go? The Saviour cries aloud to thee: Take up thy cross and follow me, And thou shalt my salvation see, Will you go? 4 O could I hear some sinner say: I will go! I’ll start this moment, clear the way, Let me go! My old companions, fare you well, I will not go with you to Hell, I mean with Jesus Christ to dwell, I will go! Topics: The gospel Invitation

Rock of ages, cleft for me

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-78) Appears in 2,916 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labours of my hands Can fulfil thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace, Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.

'Twas a happy day, and no mistake

Author: William Giles Collins (1855-1931) Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Before I found salvation Lyrics: 1 Before I found salvation, I was sunk in degradation, And from my Saviour wandered far astray; But I came to Calvary’s mountain, And plunged into the fountain, And from my heart the burden rolled away. Refrain: ‘Twas a happy day, and no mistake, When Jesus from my heart did take The load of sin that made it ache, And filled my soul with Joy. 2 Since I have been converted And the devil’s ranks deserted, I’ve had such joy and gladness in my soul. For Jesus I’ve been fighting, And in the war delighting, And now I’m pressing on toward the goal. 3 If faithful to my Saviour, I shall enjoy his favour, And he will keep me safely to the end; And when I cross the river, I’ll live with him for ever, And one eternal day of glory spend.

O Jesus, O Jesus, how vast thy love to me

Author: Anon Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, O Jesus, how vast thy love to me! I’ll bathe in its full ocean to all eternity; And wending on to Glory this all my song shall be: I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus died for me. 2 O Calvary, O Calvary, the thorn, the crown, the spear! ‘Tis there thy love, my Jesus, in flowing wounds appears; O depths of love and mercy, to those dear wounds I flee; I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus died for me. 3 I’m coming, I’m coming, dear Jesus, to thy throne, A few more fleeting hours and I shall be at home; And when I reach those pearly gates then I’ll put in this plea: I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus died for me. 4 In Glory, in Glory, for ever with the Lord, I’ll tune my harp and with the saints will sing in sweet accord; And as I strike those golden strings, this all my theme shall be: I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus pardoned me.
