At Calvary

[Fragrant Grace]

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him
Luke 23:33

Consider the love, mercy and grace of Jesus at Calvary in the beautiful words of this old hymn written by William R Newell in 1885
And from thankful hearts let us rejoice in the love that drew Salvation's plan


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.

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

Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary!

Refrain

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!


We rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory
1 Peter 1:8
