Melodies of Praise Lyrics
Hymn No.203

First Line: On Cal’vry’s hill of sorrow,

1 On Cal’vry’s hill of sorrow
Where sin’s demands were paid,
And rays of hope for tomorrow
Across our path were laid.

Refrain
I see a crimson stream of blood.
It flows from Calvary,
Its waves which reach the throne of God,
Are sweeping over me.

2
Today no condemnation
Abides to turn away
My soul from His salvation,
He’s in my heart to stay. [Refrain]

3
When gloom and sadness whisper,
You’ve sinned, no use to pray,
I look away to Jesus,
And He tells me to say: [Refrain]

4
And when we reach the portal
Where life forever reigns,
The ransomed hosts grand final
Will be this glad refrain. [Refrain]
