Love Led Him to Calvary

1 Love led the Savior, in days long ago,
Down to earth's darkness, its sin and its woe;
Seeking the lost ones,
His mercy to show,
Love led Him to Calvary.

Chorus:
Love led Him to Calvary,
Love led Him to Calvary;
Seeking the lost, at the uttermost cost,
Love led Him to Calvary.

2 Love, for a manger, abandoned a throne,
Seeking the sinful, the sad and the lone;
Yearning to win them and make them His own,
Love led Him to Calvary. (Chorus)

3 Seeing the soul in its infinite worth,
stooping, in love, to the lowliest birth,
Seeking the lost in the byways of earth,
Love led Him to Calvary. (Chorus)

4 Longing, in pity, the lost ones to save,
Braving the Garden, the Cross and the Grave,
Seeking this only, the sinful to save,
Love led Him to Calvary. (Chorus)
