At Calvary

Scripture: Luke 23:33


        1. Years I spent in vanity and pride,
          Caring not my Lord was crucified,
          Knowing not it was for me He died
          On Calvary.
          • Refrain:
            Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
            Pardon there was multiplied to me;
            There my burdened soul found liberty
            At Calvary.
        2. By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
          Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
          Till my guilty soul imploring turned
          To Calvary.
        3. Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
          Now I gladly own Him as my King,
          Now my raptured soul can only sing
          Of Calvary!
        4. Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
          Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
          Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
          At Calvary!
