371. Years I Spent in Vanity and Pride
1
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified;
Knowing not it was for me He died
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty
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
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
