Lyrics to the hymn, At Calvary



Hello, hello. I am a Mother of Gooses, and today we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, At Calvary.

It is was written by William R. Newell in 1895, and is truly one of my favorite hymns.

If you don't know how it goes, look up Squirrel 24 on YouTube; the person singing it did a very good job.

Now, on with the show.




Verse 1

Years I spent in vanity and pride,

Caring not my lord was crucified.

Knowing not I was for me he died,

On Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me.
 
There my burdened soul found liberty,

At Calvary.

Verse 2

By God's word at last my sin I learned;

Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned.

'Til my guilty soul imploring turned 

To Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me.

There my burdened soul found liberty,

At Calvary.

Verse 3

Now I've given Jesus everything;

Now, I gladly own him as my king;

Now, my raptured soul can only sing 

Of Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me.

There my burdened soul found liberty,

At Calvary.

Verse 4

Oh, the love that drew salvations plan;

Oh, the grace that brought it down to man;

Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span,

At Calvary.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me.

There my burdened soul found liberty,

At Calvary.


Well, we're done!

I hope you like it as much as I do, and if you don't, I hope you learn to.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
