1 Christ had come to His own, they from Him turned away,
Hear their shout—“Crucify! Crucify!”
On the cross which He carried that sorrowful day,
For the sin of the world He must die.

Refrain:
O they led Him away unto Calvary one day,
There atonement for sin Jesus made;
On the cross, on the cross, dreadful anguish and loss,
It was your debt and mine that He paid.

2 He was calm in the midst of their rage and their strife,
Tho’ His friends all forsook Him and fled;
And His majesty shone when He offered His life,
As a lamb on the slaughter was led. [Refrain]

3 He was sinless, the sin of the world Jesus bore
On the cross, on the cross when He died;
He our sin will forgive, will remember no more,
If we trust in the Christ crucified. [Refrain]
