Lead me to Calvary

Lyrics: Jennie Evelyn Hussey
Music: William J. Kirkpatrick 



King of my life, I crown You now,
Yours shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Your thorn crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.

Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Your agony;
Lest I forget Your love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where You were laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded You while You slept.

Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift for You;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
who's grip You'd broken through.

May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for You;
Even Your cup of grief to share,
Faithful in all I do.

Lyrics: Jennie Evelyn Hussey

King of my life, I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.

Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.

May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,

Thou hast borne all for me.
