Gethsemane---Calvary

Clifford A. Russell IT was for thee, it was for me, He suffered in Gethsemane; Oh, would that we might feel and see His suffering and His agony; Oh, would that we might hear again That agonizing cry of pain, As from His pores the red life flowed, Crushed 'neath our sins, the awful load. It was for thee, it was for me, He bore it all for thee and me.

It was for thee, it was for me, He suffered on dark Calvary. From hands and feet His precious blood,

From gaping wounds a crimson flood, 4AA Bathed the rude cross for thee, for me, The cruel cross of Calvary. O blessed cross of Calvary! He paid the price to set me free.
