Verse 1:
Upon the cross of Calvary
They crucified our Lord
And sealed with blood the sacrifice
That sanctified his word.

Upon the cross he meekly died
For all mankind to see
That death unlocks the passageway

Upon the cross our Savior died,
But, dying, brought new birth
Through resurrection's miracle
To all the sons of earth.
