Lamb of Calvary

Add to Starred Hymns

Representative Text

1 When with sin distressed,
Doubting and depressed,
When my way looks dark across life's changing sea.
Ever cometh peace,
All my troubles cease,
When I lean on thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary.

Refrain:
Father, Friend, and Savior,
Hear me while I pray.
Thro' thy saving grace, take all my guilt away.

2 In thy mansions blest,
O what peaceful rest
Ev'ry weary soul may find eternally,
Thro' thy saving grace,
All my see thy face,
All my lean on thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary. [Refrain]

3 Savior, all divine,
Make me wholly thine,
In thy tender care forever more keep me,
Fount of heav'nly truth,
Guide me in my youth,
Let me lean on thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary. [Refrain]
