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
 
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.
