Author: Jessie H. Brown Hymnal: Sunshine #36 (1895) Hymnal Title: Sunshine First Line: O cross of grief and anguish sore Refrain First Line: O Calvary, O Calvary Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [O cross of grief and anguish sore]
O Calvary
