Author: William R. Newell, 1868-1958 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #322 (2018) Meter: 9.9.13 with refrain First Line: Years I spent in vanity and pride Refrain First Line: Mercy there was great and grace was free Lyrics: 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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Good Friday; Calvary; Cross; Death of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Redemptive work Scripture: Luke 23:33 Languages: English Tune Title: AT CALVARY
