41. On Yonder Hill of Calvary

1 On yonder hill of Calvary,
Where Jesus bled and died for me;
'Twas there from sin He set me free,
On Calvary, dark Calvary.

Chorus:
On Calvary, dark Calvary:
They nailed my Lord upon the tree;
And there He died in agony,
On Calvary, dark Calvary.

2 On yonder hill of Calvary,
Behol the world's great tragedy;
The sun, that awful hour did flee,
From Calvary, dark Calvary. [Chorus]

3 On yonder hill of Calvary,
The sinner's only hope and plea,
Christ gave His life for such as we--
On Calvary, dark Calvary. [Chorus]
