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

Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Appears in 2,484 hymnals First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel’s veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. Refrain: I do believe, I will believe, That Jesus died for me; That on the cross he shed his blood, And now he sets me free. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed host of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E’er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I’ll sing thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

We worship thee, O Crucified

Author: Albert Orsborn (1886-1967) Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We worship thee, O Crucified! What glories didst thou lay aside; What depth of human grief and sin Didst thou consent to languish in, That through atoning blood outpoured Our broken peace might be restored! 2 We mourn that e’er our hearts should be One with a world that loves not thee; That with the crowd we passed thee by And saw, but did not feel, thee die. Not till we knew our guilt and shame Did we esteem the Saviour’s name. 3 Though with our shame we shunned the light, Thou didst not leave us in the night; We were not left in sin to stray Unsought, unloved, from thee away; For from thy cross irradiates A power that saves and recreates. 4 O loved above all earthly love, To thee our hearts adoring move; Thy boundless mercies yearn to save And in thy blood sin’s wounds to lave. O speed the day when men shall see That human hopes are all in thee. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Atoning work

When I survey the wondrous cross

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 2,006 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

To save a poor sinner, to save a poor sinner

Author: John Lawley (1859-1922) Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: When Jesus was born in the manger Lyrics: 1 When Jesus was born in the manger The shepherds came thither to see, For the angels proclaimed that a Saviour was born To save a poor sinner like me. Refrain: To save a poor sinner, to save a poor sinner, To save a poor sinner like me; For the angels proclaimed that a Saviour was born To save a poor sinner like me. 2 He was wounded for my transgressions, Acquainted with sorrow was he; In the garden he prayed, and sweat great drops of blood, To save a poor sinner like me. 3 He was brought to Pilate for judgment, He was sentenced to hang on a tree. It is finished! he cried, when he suffered and died To save a poor sinner like me. 4 But death and the grave could not hold him, He burst them asunder for thee. On the third day he rose, in spite of his foes, To save a poor sinner like me. 5 I’m fighting my passage to Heaven, O’er death I shall conqueror be. Then to Glory I’ll fly, and shout through the sky: He saved a poor sinner like me. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Atoning work
