Come, O my soul, to Calvary

1

Come, O my soul, to Calvary, Calvary, Calvary,And see the Man who died for thee,Upon th' accursed tree.

Chorus.

How can I forget thee!How can I forget my Lord!How can I forget thee!Dear Lord, remember me.

2

Behold the Saviour's agonyWhile groaning in GethsemaneBeneath the sins of men.

3

With purple robe and thorny crown,And mocking soldiers bowing down,The Saviour bears my shame.

4

Behold, they shed his precious blood!O, hear him cry, "My God, my God,Hast thou forsaken me?"

5

He died! the earth was robed in gloom!They laid him then in Joseph's tomb,While soldiers watched around.

6

But in the light of dawning dayBright angels rolled the rock away,And Christ, the Conqueror, rose.

7

Now he who died on CalvaryStill lives to plead for you and meAnd bids us look and live.

8

Soon he who once was scourged and boundShall come again, with glory crowned,And reign forevermore.

9

His saints shall crown him Lord of all;Before him every foe shall fall,And every knee shall bow.
