Sheet music
- 1Up Calv’ry’s mountain, one dreadful mornWalked Christ, my Savior, weary and worn;Facing for sinners death on the Cross,That He might save them from endless loss.Blessed Redeemer!Precious Redeemer!Seems I now see Him on Calvary’s tree,Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleadingBlind and unheeding dying for me!
- 2“Father forgive them!” thus did He pray,E’en while His lifeblood flowed fast away.Praying for sinners while in such woeNo one but Jesus ever loved so!Blessed Redeemer!Precious Redeemer!Seems I now see Him on Calvary’s tree,Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleadingBlind and unheeding dying for me!
- 3Oh, how I love Him,Savior and Friend!How can my praises ever find end!Thru years unnumbered on heaven’s shore,My tongue shall praiseHim forevermore.Blessed Redeemer!Precious Redeemer!Seems I now see Him on Calvary’s tree,Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleadingBlind and unheeding dying for me!
