1. On Calvary's brow my Savior died
  'Twas there my Lord was crucified;
  'Twas on the cross He bled for me,
  And purchased there my pardon free.
(Chorus:)
  O Calvary! Dark Calvary!
  Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
  O Calvary! Blest Calvary!
  'Twas there my Savior died for me.
2. 'Mid rending rocks and darkening skies
  My Savior bows His head and dies;
  The opening veil reveals the way
  To life divine and endless day.
3. O Jesus, Lord, how can it be
  That Thou shouldst give Thy life for me,
  To bear the cross and agony
  In that dread hour on Calvary!
(Chorus:)
  O Calvary! Dark Calvary!
  Where Jesus shed His blood for me;
  O Calvary! Blest Calvary!
  'Twas there my Savior died for me.
