Hymn 236

Caring not my Lord was crucified

William R. Newell

Verse 1

Caring not my Lord was crucified,

Knowing not it 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,

Till 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 to 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

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.

Chorus

Mercy there was great and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me;

There my burdened soul found liberty,

At Calvary.
