Lyics

WHENE'ER I think of Thee,

O sacred Calvary,

Love fills my breast,

Flow, then, the joyous tears;

Flee, all my guilty fears;

Saviour! Thy cross appears, 

And I find rest.



When from Thy bleeding side

I see the crimson tide

Streaming for me,

Faith in Thy flowing blood,

O spotless Lamb of God,

Points from this dark abode,

Upward to Thee.



When death's unsparing dart

Pierces my fainting heart,

Sweetly I'll sing:

Grave! thou no terror hast;

All fearful gloom is past;

Victor through Christ at last,

Death has no sting!
