- 1On the cross of Calvary,Jesus died for thee and me;There He shed His precious blood,That from sin we might be free.O, the cleansing stream doth flow,And it washes white as snow:It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.On Calvary, on Calvary,(On Calvary, on Calvary,)It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.
- 2O, what wondrous, wondrous love,Bro’t me down at Jesus’ feet!O, such wondrous, dying love,Asks a sacrifice complete!Lord, I give myself to Thee,Soul and body Thine to be:It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.On Calvary, on Calvary,(On Calvary, on Calvary,)It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.
- 3Take me, Jesus, I am Thine,Wholly Thine forever more;Blessed Jesus, Thou art mine,Dwell within for evermore.Cleanse, O, cleanse my heart from sin,Make and keep me pure within:It was for this Thy blood was shedOn the cross of Calvary.On Calvary, on Calvary,(On Calvary, on Calvary,)It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.
- 4Clouds and darkness veiled the sky,When the Lord was crucified;“It is finished!” was His cry,When He bowed His head and died.It was finished there for me;All the world may now go free:It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.On Calvary, on Calvary,(On Calvary, on Calvary,)It was for me that Jesus diedOn the cross of Calvary.
