197. 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.
 
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 truth I’d spurned,
 
Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.
3
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!
