Carefully, Tearfully

Carefully

tear­ful­ly will I draw nigh

Upward to Cal­va­ry lift­ing mine eye;

Mercy for all in the Sav­ior to see

Mercy ab­ound­ing

ab­ound­ing for me.

There would I see all the Fa­ther re­vealed

Faithful and true

all the pro­mis­es sealed.

Gift of all gifts

the most loved and ad­ored

Jesus

anoint­ed

the Sav­ior and Lord.

Carefully

tear­ful­ly will I draw nigh

Upward to Cal­va­ry lift­ing mine eye;

Mercy for all in the Sav­ior to see

Mercy ab­ound­ing

ab­ound­ing for me.

Beautiful feet on the mount­ain that bring

Tidings

glad tid­ings

from Is­rael’s king.

Peace and sal­va­tion

and par­don di­vine

Joy of all joys

that sal­va­tion is mine.

Carefully

tear­ful­ly will I draw nigh

Upward to Cal­va­ry lift­ing mine eye;

Mercy for all in the Sav­ior to see

Mercy ab­ound­ing

ab­ound­ing for me.

Many the con­flict thro’ which He has passed

Ended His sor­row­ful jour­ney at last;

Wounded His head

and His hands and His feet

Finished! He cries

and His work is com­plete.
