Hymn History: At Calvary

God used a once apathetic and stubborn young minister's son to bring us the beloved hymn, At Calvary. What a blessing it is to know that Christ's sacrifice sets the child of God free from sin! Listen to this stirring account of William Newell and this classic hymn on today's Traveler's Tales.

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 giv'n to Jesus ev'rything; now I gladly own Him as my King; now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary. [Refrain] 4 O the love that drew salvation's plan! O the grace that brought it down to man! O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary! [Refrain]
