An angel came on Easter day
And rolled the heavy stone away.
Once more the sinful world did see
The Christ who died on Calvary.
He is risen! the tidings spread;
They killed Him, but He rose from the dead.
He reigns again, and ever shall be
The King, who died on Calvary.
Redemption’s debt, He has paid it all;
O sinner, listen, and heed His call.
That debt was paid for you and me,
Upon the Cross of Calvary.
I love to feel the cleansing stream
Roll o’er my heart and make me clean;
That precious blood that was shed for me
Upon the Cross of Calvary.
I’ll trust Him while I tread life’s path;
He’ll shield me from His coming wrath.
With Him in glory I long to be,
The blessed Lamb of Calvary.
He is ready and willing now to receive
All who will trust Him and believe.
Still He is calling “Come unto me,”
The debt was paid on Calvary.
There is peace and joy with Him above;
There is happiness and perfect love.
My soul shall rest when there I’ll be
With Him, who died on Calvary.
Sinner, He is knocking at your heart’s door,
Believe, trust Him, reject no more.
He paid the debt for you and me,
Remember the Cross of Calvary.
[EMANCIPATION]
Peace had come and the bond was free,
Lincoln was as happy as he could be;
He was enjoying amusement with his wife,
When a demon robbed him of his life.
