1 O Thou bleeding Lamb of God,
Thou the path of death hast trod,
Pouring out Thy love for me,
At the place called Calvary.
Refrain:
Wonderful place called Calvary,
Wonderful place called Calvary;
Love, redeeming love, I see,
At the place called Calvary.
2 Flowing here the crimson tide,
Fount of blessing deep and wide,
Saviour, wash away my sin,
Bring Thy cleansing power within. [Refrain]
3 O the cruel pain He bore,
When the crown of thorns He wore;
Sinner, come; for you and me
Jesus died on Calvary. [Refrain]
4 Come, oh, come, for He'll receive
All who on His name believe;
Find salvation full and free,
At the place called Calvary. [Refrain]
