Author: William R. Newell, 1868-1956 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #226 (1957) First Line: Years I spent in vanity and pride Refrain First Line: Mercy there was great, and grace was free Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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)
3 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)
4 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! (Refrain) Topics: Christ Cross of; Contrition; Cross of Christ; Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: [Years I spent in vanity and pride]
