Calvary

Representative Text

1 Lamb of God, whose bleeding love
We now recall to mind,
Send the answer from above,
And let us mercy find.
Think on us who think on Thee,
Every burdened soul release;
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.

2 By Thine agonizing pain,
And bloody sweat, we pray,
By Thy dying love to man,
Take all our sins away;
Burst our bonds, and set us free,
From iniquity release;
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.

3 Let Thy blood by faith applied,
The sinner’s pardon seal;
Speak us freely justified,
And all our sickness heal;
By Thy passion on the tree,
Let our griefs and sorrows cease,
O remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace.

Charles Wesley was the youngest son and 18th child of Samuel and Susanna Wesley, and was born at Epworth Rectory, Dec. 18, 1707. In 1716 he went to Westminster School, being provided with a home and board by his elder brother Samuel, then usher at the school, until 1721, when he was elected King's Scholar, and as such received his board and education free.

Notes

Lamb of God, Whose bleeding love. C. Wesley. Holy Communion.] This is No. 20 of the Wesley Hymns on the Lord's Supper, 1745, in 4 stanzas of 8 lines (Poetical Works, 1868-72, vol. iii. p. 228). It was given in the older hymnbooks of the Church of England as Madan's Psalms & Hymns, 1760; Toplady's Psalms & Hymns, 1776, and others, and also in some Nonconformist collections, but was not included in the Wesleyan Hymn Book until the Supplement of 1830. An altered version of this hymn, beginning," Lamb of God, Whose dying love," appeared in Hall's Mitre Hymn Book, 1836, No. 269, in 2 st. of 8 1. That arrangement was by E. Osier, and was repeated, with slight changes, in his Church & King, March, 1837. Another form of the hymn is, “Blest Lamb of God, whose dying love." It is found in the Rugby School Hymn Book, 1850; Kennedy, 1863, and others.
