At Calvary

1

Years I spent in vanity and pride,

Caring not my Lord was crucified,

Knowing not it was for me He died 

On 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 ev'rything,

Now I gladly own Him as my King,

Now my raptured soul can only sing 

Of Calvary.

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:

Mercy there was great and grace was free,

Pardon there was multiplied to me,

There my burdened soul found liberty–

At Calvary.
