Verse 1:

D                                      A7
Up Cal-v’ry’s moun-tain, one dread-ful morn,
                                     D
Walked Christ my Sav-ior, wea-ry and worn;
                                  G
Fac-ing for sin-ners death on the cross,
              D         A7            D
That He might save them from end-less loss.

Chorus:

G                                 D
Bless-ed Re-deem-er, pre-cious Re-deem-er!
            A                          A7
Seems now I see Him on Cal-va-ry’s tree,
D                                    G
Wound-ed and bleed-ing, for sin-ners plead-ing-
             D         A7         D
Blind and un-heed-ing, dy-ing for me.


Verse 2:

D                                    A7
“Fa-ther for-give them!” thus He did pray
                                      D
E’en while His life-blood flowed fast a-way;
                                    G
Pray-ing for sin-ners while in such woe-
           D      A7          D
No one but Je-sus ev-er loved so.


Chorus:

G                                 D
Bless-ed Re-deem-er, pre-cious Re-deem-er!
            A                          A7
Seems now I see Him on Cal-va-ry’s tree,
D                                    G
Wound-ed and bleed-ing, for sin-ners plead-ing-
             D         A7         D
Blind and un-heed-ing, dy-ing for me.


Verse 3:

D                             A7
O how I love Him, Sav-ior and Friend!
                               D
How can my prais-es ev-er find end?
D                                   G
Thru years un-num-bered on heaven’s shore,
                D          A7        D
My tongue shall praise Him for-ev-er more.


Chorus:

G                                 D
Bless-ed Re-deem-er, pre-cious Re-deem-er!
            A                          A7
Seems now I see Him on Cal-va-ry’s tree,
D                                    G
Wound-ed and bleed-ing, for sin-ners plead-ing-
             D         A7         D
Blind and un-heed-ing, dy-ing for me.
