Fairest of all the earth beside
36
8.8.8.8.Ref.
1 Fairest of all the earth beside,
Chiefest of all unto Thy bride,
Fullness divine in Thee I see,
Wonderful Man of Calvary
That Man of Calvary
Has won my heart from me
And died to set me free;
Blest Man of Calvary.
2 Granting the sinner life and peace,
Granting the captive sweet release,
Shedding His blood to make us free;
Merciful Man of Calvary.
3 Giving the gifts obtained for men,
Pouring out love beyond our ken,
Giving us spotless purity,
Bountiful Man of Calvary.
4 Comfort of all my earthly way,
Jesus, I’ll meet Thee some sweet day;
Centre of glory, Thee I’ll see,
Wonderful Man of Calvary.
M.P. Ferguson
