Composer:Manie Payne Ferguson

6591. That Man of Calvary

1. Fairest of all the earth beside,
Chiefest of all unto Thy bride,
Fullness divine in Thee I see,
Beautiful Man of Calvary!

Refrain
That Man of Calvary
Has won my heart from me,
And died to set me free,
Blest Man of Calvary!

2. Granting the sinner life and peace,
Granting the captive sweet release,
Shedding His blood to make us free,
Merciful Man of Calvary! [Refrain]

3. Giving the gifts obtained for men,
Pouring out love beyond our ken,
Giving us spotless purity,
Bountiful Man of Calvary! [Refrain]

4. Comfort of all my earthly way,
Jesus I’ll meet Thee some sweet day;
Center of glory Thee I’ll see,
Wonderful Man of Calvary! [Refrain]
