Of all in earth or Heaven,
The dearest name to me,
Is the matchless Name of Jesus,
The Christ of Calvary.

Refrain

The Christ of Calvary,
The dearest name to me,
Is the matchless Name of Jesus,
The Christ of Calvary.

I cannot help but love Him,
And tell His love to me;
For He became my ransom,
The Christ of Calvary.

Refrain

I could not live without Him,
His love is life to me;
My blood-bought life I give Him,
The Christ of Calvary.
