Music and words by Manie P. Ferguson
Fairest of all the earth beside,
Chiefest of all unto Your bride,
Fullness divine in You I see;
Beautiful Man of Calvary!
That Man of Calvary
Has won my heart from me,
And died to set me free;
Blessed Man of Calvary.
Drinking a dire and dreadful cup,
Crucified Jesus lifted up,
Bearing our guilt and misery;
Sorrowful Man of Calvary!
Granting the sinner life and peace,
Granting the captive sweet release,
Shedding His blood to make us free;
Merciful Man of Calvary!
Comfort of all my earthly way,
Jesus, I'll meet You some sweet day,
Center of glory, You I'll see;
Wonderful Man of Calvary!
Gathered with You eternally,
Sharing Your love by heaven's sea,
Like You forever I shall be;
Glorified Man of Calvary!
