Author: R. Kelso Carter Hymnal: Give Thanks and Sing #53 (1909) First Line: Down at the cross, on Calvary’s mountain Refrain First Line: Brothers, won’t you hear the story Lyrics: 1 Down at the cross, on Calvary’s mountain,
Where mercies flow,
I plung’d in the redeeming fountain,
Washed whiter than the snow.
When nothing in the whole creation
Could purchase peace,
My Saviour brought His free salvation,
Gave me complete release.
Refrain:
Brothers, wont you hear the story?
See the fountain flow!
Oh, glory in the highest, glory!
Jesus saves me, this I know.
2 When lost in sin, my all I squandered,
Far from the fold;
My Saviour sought me where I wandered,
Gave me His wealth untold.
All bonds of sin and Satan rending,
Christ made me whole;
I’ll ne’er forget that joy transcending,
When Jesus sav’d my soul. [Refrain]
3 All round my way the sun is shining,
Darkness has fled;
On Jesus’ breast I am reclining,
Daily by Him I’m fed.
My Lord has cast His robe around me,
No more I’ll roam;
The Shepherd of the sheep has found me,
Jesus has brought me home. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Down at the cross, on Calvary’s mountain]
