Up Calv’ry’s mountain, one dreadful morn
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn
Facing for sinners death on the cross.
That he might save them from endless loss.
Refrain:
Blessed Redeemer! precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see him on Calvary’s tree;
Wounded and bleeding for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding dying for me.
“Father forgive them!” thus did he pray,
E’en while his lifeblood flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners while in such woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so.
O how I love him, Savior and Friend,
How can my praises ever find end!
Through unnumbered on heaven’s shore,
My tongue shall praise him forevermore
