Author: L. Baxter Hymnal: Churches of Christ Hymn Book #420 (1974) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Whene'er I think of Thee,
O sacred Calvary!
Love fills my breast.
Flow, then, the joyous tears;
Flee, all my guilty fears;
Saviour! Thy cross appears,
And I find rest.
2 When from Thybleeding side
I see the crimson tide
Streaming for me;
Faith in Thy flowing blood
O spotless Lamb of God!
Points me from earth's dark clod
Upward to Thee.
3 When death's unsparing dart
Pierces my fainting heart,
Sweetly I'll sing:
Grave! Thou no terror hast;
All fearful gloom is past;
Victor through Christ at last;
Death has no sting! Topics: The Christian Life Love, Gratitude and Thanksgiving Languages: English
