A Throne for Calvary

O the won­drous sto­ry of a Sav­ior’s love

Coming from a throne to Cal­va­ry;

Leaving all the glo­ries of that home ab­ove

Died to save and set a lost world free.

O love di­vine

His love to prove

Christ paid the debt for you and me;

All praise to His re­deem­ing love

He left a throne for Cal­va­ry.

Thro’ God’s ten­der mer­cy

And His bound­less love

Jesus left a throne for Cal­va­ry;

But he con­quered death

And lives

and reigns ab­ove

Now His blood atones for you and me.

O the pre­cious know­ledge of a Sav­ior’s love

And a peace the world can­not de­stroy;

While the blest as­sur­ance of a home ab­ove

Fills the heart and soul with praise and joy.
