On calvary's mountain hope was born
God himself the sacrifice
He carried sin, its grief and pain
Upon the precious cross of christ

I have not seen this rugged wood
To which my savior was enticed
But evil hearts were changed to good
Upon the precious cross of christ

Chorus:
Oh blessed hope
Unbounded grace
When all our good would not suffice
He challenged darkness face to face
Upon the precious cross of christ

There is a joy that's found within
Those who are born not once but twice
For they have learnt that life begins
Upon the precious cross of christ

Chorus
