Jennie Evelyn Hussey (1874-1958)

6 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 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.

Verse 2

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed Guarded Thee while Thou slept.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Fill me, O Lord, with Thy desire For all that know not Thee; Then touch my lips with holy fire, To speak of Calvary.
