In lov¤ing ten¤der¤ness I would re¤peat
The bound¤less love of God on Cal¤va¤ry.
He free¤ly gave His well be¤lov¤ed Son
That we might be re¤deemed e¤ter¤nal¤ly.

O, sa¤cred grief, His head in sor¤row bowed,
He suf¤fered death up¤on the cru¤el tree,
His hands, His feet, His wound¤ed side re¤veal
His life blood flow¤ing there for you and me.

He left His Fa¤ther’s bos¤om for our sake,
He came de¤clar¤ing all the Fa¤ther’s heart,
In Him was life, His life the light of men,
The sin¤ners friend, to take the sin¤ners’ part.

O, see those marks of suf¤fering on His brow,
His min¤gled tears of grief and ag¤o¤ny,
“How oft would I have gath¤ered you, my own,
But ye re¤fused and would not come to me.”

Be¤hold Him now up¤on the cross of shame,
Your Sav¤iour’s dy¤ing love, O, look and see,
With grate¤ful heart will you not say to Him,
“My Sav¤iour, I am com¤ing now to Thee.”
