444. On Calvary

1 Up Calvary—there climbed on day
God’s only Son upon His way
To die for you, to die for me,
Upon the cross of Calvary.

Refrain:
Up Calvary—He died for me,
And took the stain of sin away,
And showed the way to victory—
Eternal life and endless day.

2 On Calvary—His life He gave,
My ransom there, my soul to save;
Upon the Lord was laid my sin,
That I His courts might enter in. [Refrain]

3 On Calvary—God’s only Son
O’er death and sin and vict’ry won,
And to the cross bro’t glory bright,
To light the world with Holy Light. [Refrain]

4 To Calvary—I look today
For light to guide me on life’s way.
And to its cross my trusting soul
Shall cling while endless ages roll. [Refrain]
