With Easter approaching, my thoughts always shift to the cross and to what Christ accomplished at Calvary. Join with me in remembering this lovely old hymn,
At Calvary
by William Newell.
1895
Sung by Lynda Randle
At Calvary
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.
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary!
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!
Thank you, Jesus, for Calvary!
you just made me smile 🙂 THANK YOU!!!!

Love the old hymns — especially for important seasons of the year. Thank you for this post.
You are welcome. Blessings
Being from the 70’s, I somewhat spurned the old hymns that I have now fallen in love with! Thanks for posting this!
Thanks, Dawn. Glad you came around! 😉
One of the first “real” hymns I learned to play on the piano, and always a favorite! ❤
Nice!

You, too! Thanks.
Wow I do remember every word but I know I haven’t sung this in more than ten years. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Pete. I woke up yesterday with that song going through my head.
