[Verse 1]
D A7
Up Cal-v’ry’s moun-tain, one dread-ful morn,
D
Walked Christ my Sav-ior, wea-ry and worn;
G
Fac-ing for sin-ners death on the cross,
D A7 D
That He might save them from end-less loss.
[Chorus]
G D
Bless-ed Re-deem-er, pre-cious Re-deem-er!
A A7
Seems now I see Him on Cal-va-ry’s tree,
D G
Wound-ed and bleed-ing, for sin-ners plead-ing-
D A7 D
Blind and un-heed-ing, dy-ing for me.
[Verse 2]
D A7
“Fa-ther for-give them!” thus He did pray
D
E’en while His life-blood flowed fast a-way;
G
Pray-ing for sin-ners while in such woe-
D A7 D
No one but Je-sus ev-er loved so.
[Chorus]
G D
Bless-ed Re-deem-er, pre-cious Re-deem-er!
A A7
Seems now I see Him on Cal-va-ry’s tree,
D G
Wound-ed and bleed-ing, for sin-ners plead-ing-
D A7 D
Blind and un-heed-ing, dy-ing for me.
[Verse 3]
D A7
O how I love Him, Sav-ior and Friend!
D
How can my prais-es ev-er find end?
D G
Thru years un-num-bered on heaven’s shore,
D A7 D
My tongue shall praise Him for-ev-er more.
[Chorus]
G D
Bless-ed Re-deem-er, pre-cious Re-deem-er!
A A7
Seems now I see Him on Cal-va-ry’s tree,
D G
Wound-ed and bleed-ing, for sin-ners plead-ing-
D A7 D
Blind and un-heed-ing, dy-ing for me.
