On the cross of Calvary

• • On the cross of Calvary, 
  • Jesus died for you and me, 
  • there He shed His precious blood, 
  • that from sin we might be free. 
  • Oh, the cleansing stream doth flow, 
  • and it washes white as snow; 
  • it was for me that Jesus died, 
  • on the cross of Calvary. 
  • 
    
  • Clouds and darkness veiled the sky 
  • when the Lord was crucified, 
  • ‘It is finished,’ was His cry, 
  • when He bowed His head, and died, 
  • it is finished! - yes, indeed, 
  • all the world may now go free. 
  • It was for this that Jesus died, 
  • on the cross of Calvary. 
  • 
    
  • Oh, what wondrous, wondrous love, 
  • brought me down at Jesus‟ feet! 
  • Oh, such wondrous dying love, 
  • asks a sacrifice complete. 
  • Here I give myself to Thee, 
  • soul and body, Thine to be, 
  • it was for me Thy blood was shed, 
  • on the cross of Calvary. 
  • 
    
  • Take me, Lord, and seal me Thine, 
  • wholly Thine, for evermore, 
  • sweet assurance, Thou art mine, 
  • and the night of death is o‟er. 
  • Cleanse, oh, cleanse my heart from sin, 
  • make and keep me pure within! 
  • It was for this Thy blood was shed 
  • on the cross of Calvary.
