At Calvary

William R. Newell (1895) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 53:10-11

Verse 1

Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.

Verse 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.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.

Verse 3

Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.

Verse 4

O the love that drew salvation's plan! O the grace that brought it down to man! O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At Calvary.
