To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now

84
						C.M.

1	To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now
	Our weary souls repair,
	To dwell upon Thy dying love,
	And taste its sweetness there.

2	Sweet resting-place of every heart
	That feels the plague of sin,
	Yet knows the deep, mysterious joy
	Of peace with God within.

3	There, through Thine hour of deepest woe,
	Thy suffering Spirit passed;
	Grace there its wondrous victory gained,
	And love endured its last.

4	O Lamb of God! Thy bleeding wounds,
	With cords of love divine,
	Have drawn our willing hearts to Thee,
	And linked our life with Thine.

5	Our longing eyes would fain behold
	That bright and blessèd brow,
	Once wrong with bitterest anguish, wear
	Its crown of glory now.

6	Thy sympathies and hopes are ours:
	We long, O Lord, to see
	Creation all—below, above,
	Redeemed and blessed by Thee
