Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #41 (1908) Refrain First Line: On Calvary, dark Calvary Lyrics: 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] Topics: Anniversary; Atonement; Calvary Languages: English Tune Title: [On yonder hill of Calvary]
