210. On Calvary's Brow My Savior Died

P.M.
1
On Calvary’s brow my Savior died,
 
’Twas there my Lord was crucified;
 
’Twas on the cross He bled for me,
 
And purchased there my pardon free.
 
Oh Calvary! dark Calvary!
 
Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
 
Oh Calvary! blest Calvary!
 
’Twas there my Savior died for me.
2
Mid rending rocks and darkening skies,
 
My Savior bows His head and dies;
 
The opened veil reveals the way
 
To heaven’s joys and endless day.
3
O Jesus, Lord, how can it be
 
That Thou shouldst give Thy life for me;
 
To bear the cross and agony,
 
In that dread hour on Calvary?
