That Man of Calvary
Fairest of all the earth beside,
Chiefest of all unto Thy bride,
Fullness divine in Thee I see,
Beautiful Man of Calvary!
Refrain
That Man of Calvary
Has won my heart from me,
And died to set me free,
Blest Man of Calvary!
Granting the sinner life and peace,
Granting the captive sweet release,
Shedding His blood to make us free,
Merciful Man of Calvary!
Refrain
Giving the gifts obtained for men,
Pouring out love beyond our ken,
Giving us spotless purity,
Bountiful Man of Calvary!
Refrain
Comfort of all my earthly way,
Jesus I’ll meet Thee some sweet day;
Center of glory Thee I’ll see,
Wonderful Man of Calvary!
Refrain
Words: Mannie P. Ferguson, 1904

I was over here earlier, but didn’t post a comment. I was busy ruminating over your lyrics. Wonderful words…wonderful meaning…wonderful Man who saved us from our sins ;-).
OH, I went to a Russian Art exhibit on Iconography and I’ll try and get some of the pictures up for you this week. I thought about you a lot while I was there and has reminded of the rich and beautiful heritage you have. ANd then yesterday it hit me as I was looking at your Paska…is that, “Passover” in Russian? We attended a Seder Supper on Monday that was so much fun…sadly Elijah didn’t show up…again, but we still set a place for him at the table ;-O.
