77. O Calvary

1 O wond’rous day when I was saved,
When I was saved from guilt and sin;
O wond’rous change wrought in my heart,
When Jesus came and entered in.

Refrain:
O Calvary, O Calvary,
Where Jesus gave His life for me,
From home in heav’n, to earth He came,
To shed His blood, endure the shame;
O Calvary, O Calvary,
Where Jesus gave His life for me.

2 O wond’rous light that shone on me,
That made me see His love divine;
A sinner frail, a sin-sick soul
No more am I, for He is mine. [Refrain]

3 O wond’rous pow’r of Christ the Lord,
He drew me to His wounded side;
He holds me there, I do not fear
While in His love I still abide. [Refrain]

4 O wond’rous day when I behold
My coming Lord in yonder sky;
The story then will all be told,
How He, in love, came forth to die. [Refrain]
