Up Calv'ry's mountain (Blessed Redeemer)

275 Blessed Redeemer

1 Up Calv'ry's mountain one dreadful morn
   Walked Christ, my Savior, weary and worn;
   Facing for sinners death on the cross,
   That He might save them from endless loss.

Chorus:
   Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer!
   Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree;
   Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading—
   Blind and unheeding— dying for me!

2 "Father, forgive them!" thus did He pray,
   E'en while His lifeblood flowed fast away;
   Praying for sinners while in such woe–
   No one but Jesus ever loved so. [Chorus]

3 O how I love Him, Savior and Friend,
   How can my praises ever find end?
   Thro' years unnumbered on heaven's shore,
   My tongue shall praise Him forevermore. [Chorus]
