Lyrics

Verse 1

From Calvary a cry was heard— A bitter and heartrending cry: Our Savior's ev'ry mournful word Spoke of His soul's deep agony.

Verse 2

A horror of great darkness fell On Christ, the spotless holy One! And all the swarming hosts of hell Conspired to tempt God's only Son.

Verse 3

Let the whole world its silence break; Let pealing anthems rend the sky; Awake, my sluggish soul, awake! He died, that we might never die.

 

 

Verse 4

Lord! on Your cross I fix my eyes; If e'er I lose its strong control, O! let that dying, piercing cry, Melt and reclaim my wand'ring soul.

Verse 5

Lord! on Thy cross I fix mine eye; If e'er I lose its strong control, O! let that dying, piercing cry, Melt and reclaim my wand'ring soul.
