To Calv’ry let our eyes be turned by Amy Carmichael

“Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don’t wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work – to wake people up.” – Catherine Booth

To Calv’ry let our eyes be turned,With Calv’ry love our hearts be burned;
For there in Calv’ry’s awful hour,
Love conquered sin and Satan’s pow’r.
Lord, turn our gaze upon Thy Cross,
Counting all else not gain but loss;
For this we pray, this is our plea—
Lord, keep our eyes on Calvary.
