On the Cross

1 On the cross, oh, wondrous love!
That Jesus died for me;
That He should leave the courts above,
And die on Calvary.

Chorus:
On the cross, the shameful cross,
The cross of Calvary;
On the cross, the shameful cross,
The Savior died for me.

2 Love for me, O Savior, now,
My heart I give to Thee;
Thy cross I'll bear, to Thee I'll bow,
For Thou hast died for me. [Chorus]

3 On the cross, He died in gloom,
Was ever love like this?
He rose triumphant o'er the tomb,
He reigns in endless bliss. [Chorus]

4 On the cross, oh, look and live,
He calls again to thee;
Turn not away--He will forgive--
He will thy ransom be. [Chorus]
