The New Church Hymnal ‎#557

557. Blessed Redeemer

1 Up Calvary's mountain one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Saviour weary and worn;
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
That He might save them from endless loss.

Refrain:
Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree;
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding, dying for me!

2 "Father forgive them!" thus did He pray,
E'en while His lifeblood flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners while in such woe,
No one but Jesus ever loved so. [Refrain]

3 O how I love Him, Saviour and Friend,
How can my praises ever find end!
Thro' years unnumbered on heaven's shore,
My tongue shall praise Him forevermore. [Refrain]
