Calvary

Verse 1] The pilgrims throng thro’ the city gates While the night is falling fast; They go to watch on Calv’ry’s hillEre the twilight hours are past; Though dark be the way, with eyes of faith, They gave on His Cross above; And, lo! From each heart, The shadows depart, As they list to his words of love, As they list to His words of love. [Refrain] “Rest, rest to the weary, Peace, peace to the soul; Tho’ life may be dreary, Earth is not thy goal, O lay down thy burden, O com unto me, I will not forsake thee, I will not forsake thee, I will not forsake thee, Tho’ all else should flee.” [Verse 2] Far, far, away, o’er the dream of years They hear the voice of the King, Where, O Grave, where is thy victory, And where, O Death is thy sting? Captive He leads them forevermore; While weary pilgrims rejoice; For looking on high to the Cross He bore, The faithful shall hear His voice, The faithful shall hear His voice. [Refrain
