Text: | Lead Me to Calvary |
Author: | Jennie Evelyn Hussey |
Tune: | DUNCANNON |
Composer: | William J. Kirkpatrick |
1 King of my life I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be:
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane;
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
2 Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. [Refrain]
3 Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary. [Refrain]
4 May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross to Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me. [Refrain]
