Dock Boggs - Calvary lyrics

There's a hill lone and grey In a land far away In a country beyond the blue sea Where beneath that fair sky Went a man forth to die For the world and for you and for me Oh, it bowed down my heart And the teardrops will start When in memory all the grey hill I see For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died To redeem a poor sinner like me Behold, faint on the road 'Neath the world's heavy load Comes a thorn-crowned man on the way With a cross, he is bowed But still on through the crowd He's ascending that hill lone and grey Hark, I hear the dull blow Of the hammer swung low They are nailing my Lord to the tree And the cross they up-raise While the multitude gaze On the blessed Lamb of dark Calvary Oh, it bowed down my heart And the teardrops will start When in memory all the grey hill I see For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died To redeem a poor sinner like me How they mocked him in d**h To his last laboring breath While His friends sadly wept o'er the way But though lonely and faint Still no word of complaint Fell from Him on that hillock of grey Then a darkness come down And the rocks went around And a cry pierced the sad-laden air 'Twas the voice of our King Who received d**h's dark sting All to save us from endless despair Let the sun hide its face Let the earth reel space Over man who their Savior have slain But, behold, from the sod Comes the blessed Lamb of God Who was slain, but is risen again Oh, it bowed down my heart And the teardrops will start When in memory all the grey hill I see For 'twas there on its side Jesus suffered and died To redeem a poor sinner like me
