1.King of my life, I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Chorus:
Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
2.Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. (Refrain)
3.Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary. (Refrain)
4. May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me. (Refrain)

1. Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior, waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! 
Refrain:
Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain, and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
2. Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior, vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! (Refrain) 
3. Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior; he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! (Refrain)

1 Go to dark Gethsemane, You who feel the tempter’s pow’r; Your Redeemer’s conflict see; Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away; Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall; View the Lord of life arraigned; O the worm-wood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff’ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross.
3 Calv’ry’s mournful mountain climb There’ adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete: “It is finished!” Hear the cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris’n! He meets our eyes: Savior, teach us so to rise.

1 Were you there when they crucified my Lord? (x2)
Oh! sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
2 Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? (x2)
Oh! sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
3 Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? (x2)
Oh! sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
4 Were you there when the sun refused to shine?(x2)
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

1. All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall, let angels prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem,
   (Refrain) and crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him, and crown him Lord of all.
2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, ye ransomed from the fall, ye ransomed from the fall, hail him who saves you by his grace, (Refrain)
3. Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget the wormwood and the gall, the wormwood and the gall, go spread your trophies at his feet, (Refrain)
4. Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball,on this terrestrial ball,
   to him all majesty ascribe, (Refrain)
5. Crown him, ye martyrs of your God, who from his altar call, who from his altar call; extol the Stem of Jesse’s Rod, (Refrain)
6. O that with yonder sacred throng we at his feet may fall, we at his feet may fall!
   We’ll join the everlasting song, (Refrain)

1 How to reach the masses, those of ev’ry birth?
For an answer Jesus gave the key:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth;
will draw all people to Me.”

Refrain:
Lift Him up, lift Him up,
still He speaks from eternity:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all people to Me.”
2 O the world is hungry for the living bread,
lift the Savior up for them to see.
Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said: “I’ll draw all people to Me.” [Refrain]
3 Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew. Preach the Gospel simple, full and free; Prove Him and you will find that promise is true,“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”[Refrain]
4 Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought, Let the world in you the Savior see; Then men will gladly follow Him who once taught, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.” [Refrain]

FINAL REFRAIN
I’m very sure, I’m very sure my anchor holds and grips the Solid rock! This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He’s the One; This Rock is Jesus, The only One! I’m very sure, I’m very sure my anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!
