Lord, we gath¤er round Thy foot¤¤stool,
Bowed in deep hu¤mil¤i¤ty;
As we look up¤on the em¤¤blems,
We re¤mem¤ber Cal¤va¤ry.

Chorus:
Cal¤va¤ry, Cal¤va¤ry,
We re¤mem¤ber Cal¤va¤ry–
In the bread Thy bro¤ken bod¤¤y,
In the wine Thy blood we see.

In that night so dark with sor¤¤row,
Left a¤lone in prayer to bow,
See Him drink our cup of an¤¤guish,
Drops of blood up¤on His brow.

See Him led out¤side the cit¤¤y,
Bruised and bear¤ing all our sin;
Cru¤el was the death He suf¤¤fered,
Heav¤en’s joy for us to win.

Un¤to Him who loved and washed ¤us
From our sins in His own blood,
We would ren¤der thanks and plead ¤for
Grace to love Him as we should.
