Robe Of Calvary

(album: When It's Round-Up Time In Heaven - 1954)

(His robe his robe the robe of calvary
Twas worn by my redeemer who lives eternally)

Kings wear robes of gold and velvet soon their glory fades away
But the king of kings in heaven wore a homespun robe that day
Soldiers gambled for his garment while the sun turned dark above
But the men who crucified him were forgiven by his love

(His robe his robe the robe of calvary
Twas worn by my redeemer who lives eternally)

Those who saw his robe knew torment if they lived by sin and fault
But if they renounce the evil they were welcome by the Lord
Though it seems so plain and humble there was fate in every breath
He who wore that lives forever he has risen from the death

(His robe his robe the robe of calvary
Twas worn by my redeemer who lives eternally)
