1 verse:
Up the Calvary road, 'neath a staggering load
Walked a man with a cross and a crown.
But the cross that He bore, and the crown that He wore
With deep agony weighted Him down.
For the cross was an emblem of guilt and of blame
And the crown made of thorns but a circlet of shame.
For the sins of the world, on His shoulders was hurled
Up that blood-sprinkled road. That Calvary road.
That Calvary road! That Calvary road!

2 verse:
Up the Calvary road, 'neath a mobs cruel goad
To the brow of the hill He was led
There the sun hid its face, and the earth realed a pace
While His friends in their terror all fled.
But the pains that were His as the nails pierced Him through
Were as naught when compared with the anguish He knew.
When the sin of the world on His shoulders was hurled
Up that blood-sprinkled road. That Calvary road.
That Calvary road!

3 verse:
Up that Calvary road, 'neath a staggering load
I shall never be called on to go.
But a cross I must bear, if a crown I would wear
When I'm done with my service below.
So I'll carry the cross that He asks me to bear
And I'll die to the world, and to selfish there.
Finding victory and grace, and a smile from His face
Up that blood sprinkled road. My Calvary road.
My Calvary road! My Calvary road!
