Hymn 179: To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now

Verse 1

To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now

Our weary souls repair,

To dwell upon Thy dying love,

And taste its sweetness there.


Verse 2

Sweet resting-place of every heart 

That feels the plague of sin,

Yet knows that deep mysterious joy,

The peace of God within.


Verse 3

There through Thine hour of deep-

est wo.

Thy suffering spirit passedzz;

Grace there it’s wondrous victory 

gained,

And love endured its last


Verse 4

Dear suffering Lamb, Thy bleeding 

wounds,

With cords of love divine,

Have drawn our willing hearts to Thee,

And linked our life with Thine.


Verse 5

Our longing eyes would fain behold

That bright and blessed brow,

Once wrung with bitterest anguish,[wear

its crown of glory now.
