1. The agonies of Calvary,
Could not His love dismay;
He would not yield, tho’ God revealed
The price that He must pay.
He would not yield, tho’ God revealed
The price that He must pay.
2. He stood condemned in Pilate’s Hall,
He heard the rabbles’ cry;
The King with none to own His cause,
My cause would not deny.
The King with none to own His cause,
My cause would not deny.
3. Lo! Jesus stands with broken heart,
With nail-pierced hands and feet:
He points unto His cross of woe,
Where love and mercy meet.
He points unto His cross of woe,
Where love and mercy meet.
4. The Savior stands at thy heart’s door
Bruised for they cruel sin:
O why not open wide the door
And let Him enter in?
O why not open wide the door
And let Him enter in?
