Jesus died on Calvary's mountain
1
Jesus died on Calvary's mountainLong time ago,And salvation's rolling fountainNow freely flows.
2
Once his voice, in tones of pity,Melted in woe,As he wept o'er Judah's city,Long time ago.
3
Jesus died,—yet lives forever,No more to die,—Bleeding Jesus, blessed Saviour,Now reigns on high.
4
Now in heaven he's intercedingFor dying men;Soon he'll finish all his pleading,And come again.
5
Budding fig-trees tell that summerDawns o'er the land;Signs portend that Jesus' comingIs near at hand.
6
Children, let your lamps be burning,In hope of heaven,Waiting for our Lord's returningAt dawn or even.
7
When he comes, a voice from heavenShall pierce the tomb:"Come, ye blessed of my Father,Children, come home."
