Calvary

[00:13.68] There's a hill lone and grey in a land far away
[00:18.88] In a country beyond the blue sea
[00:25.71] Where beneath that fair sky, went a man forth to die
[00:30.80] For the world and for you and for me
[00:37.46] Oh, it bowed down my heart and the teardrops will start
[00:42.64] When in memory all the grey hill I see
[00:49.37] For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died
[00:54.02] To redeem a poor sinner like me
[01:00.95] Behold, faint on the road, 'neath the world's heavy load
[01:06.06] Comes a thorn-crowned man on the way
[01:11.59] With a cross, he is bowed, but still on through the crowd
[01:16.37] He's ascending that hill lone and grey
[01:23.56] Hark, I hear the dull blow of the hammer swung low
[01:28.47] They are nailin' my Lord to the tree
[01:34.36] And the cross they upraise while the multitude gaze
[01:39.32] On the best Lamb of dark Calvary
[01:46.41] Oh, it bowed down my heart and the teardrops will start
[01:51.46] When in memory all the grey hill I see
[01:56.75] For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died
[02:01.58] To redeem a poor sinner like me
[02:07.96] How they mocked him in death to his last laboring breath
[02:12.99] While His friends sadly wept o'er the way
[02:18.53] But though lonely and faint, still no word of complaint
[02:23.28] Fell from Him on that hillock of grey
[02:29.03] Then a darkness come down and the rocks went around
[02:33.88] And a cry pierced the sad-laden air
[02:38.56] 'Twas the voice of our King, who received death's dark sting
[02:43.54] All to save us from endless despair
[02:48.88] Let the sun hide its face, let the earth reel in space
[02:53.68] Over men who their Savior have slain
[02:58.66] But, behold, from the sod comes the blessed Lamb of God
[03:03.66] Who was slain, but is risen again
[03:10.06] Oh, it bowed down my heart and the teardrops will start
[03:14.76] When in memory all the grey hill I see
[03:19.86] For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died
[03:24.63] To redeem a poor sinner like me
[03:28.89]
