Carefully, tearfully, will I draw nigh,
Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye;
Mercy for all in the Savior to see,
Mercy abouding, abounding for me.
There would I see all the Father revealed,
Faithful and true, all the promises sealed.
Gift of all gifts, the most loved and adored,
Jesus, annointed, the Savior and Lord.

Carefully, tearfully, will I draw nigh,
Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye;
Mercy for all in the Savior to see,
Mercy abouding, abounding for me.
Beautiful feet on the mountain that bring
Tidings, glad tidings from Israel's King.
Peace and salvation and pardon divine,
Joy of all joys, that salvation is mine.

Carefully, tearfully, will I draw nigh,
Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye;
Mercy for all in the Savior to see,
Mercy abouding, abounding for me.
Many the conflich thro' which He has pass'd,
Ended His sorrowful journey at last;
Wounded His head, and His hands and His feet,
Finished! He cries, and His work is complete.

Carefully, tearfully, will I draw nigh,
Upward to Calvary lifting mine eye;
Mercy for all in the Savior to see,
Mercy abouding, abounding for me.
Altar and victim and priest to atone,
Treading the wine-press of vengeance along;
Stained are His garments, with tears and with blood,
Jesus, Redeemer! my Lord and my God.
