(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
I look at the cross upon Calvary,
And O what a wonder divine!
To think of the wealth it holds for me —
The riches of heaven are mine.
CHORUS
Blessed Calvary! Precious Calvary!
‘Neath thy shadow I’ll ever abide;
Blessed Calvary! Precious Calvary!
‘Twas there Jesus Suffered and died.
2
I find at the cross blessed victory,
And grace for each step of the way;
The fount of God’s love is flowing free,
And sweeter it grows day by day.
CHORUS
3
The cross is my hope for eternity —
No merit have I of my own;
The shed blood of Christ my only plea —
My trust is in Jesus alone.
CHORUS
