Thinking of Calvary

Representative Text

1 I'm thinking today of Calvary
The angry throng I see
That jeered at my Lord and mocked Him sore,
As that rugged cross He bore.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Sweet is the mem'ry to me;
I'm thinking today of Calvary,
And I'm thinking, I'm thinking, O Jesus, of Thee.

2 I'm thinking today of Calvary
the rugged cross I see,
My Lord hanging there, two thieves between,
Oh, what darkness shades the scene! [Refrain]

3 I'm thinking today of Calvary
My hope eternally;
My sin on the cross the Saviour bore;
I rejoice forevermore. [Refrain]
