This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Years I spent in vanity and pride,

    Caring not my Lord was crucified,

    Knowing not it was for me He died

          On Calvary.

 

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.

 

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me;

There my burdened soul found liberty,

      At Calvary.

 

 3  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.

 

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me;

There my burdened soul found liberty,

      At Calvary.

 

 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!

 

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me;

There my burdened soul found liberty,

      At Calvary.
