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
Let me like Mary, thru the gloom,
Come with a gift to thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb
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 3
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.
Chorus
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget thine agony,
Lest I forget thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
