Sunday's Hymn

We did sing out of the hymnal this morning, but only one selection was a hymn with words I can find online and that is one I featured here only a couple of months ago. So I’m going to post another of the favorite hymns of my youth instead.

Lead Me to Calvary

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.

You can hear this hymn sung in this video. And I enjoyed this a lot more if I ignored the…uhm…video.

Haven't sung this in a long, long time, but it was one of my old favorites as well. We sang it often at communion.

Oh I haven't sang this for years either, thanks for the reminder.
