The New Praiseworthy ‎#37

37. "At Calvary"

1 By sins' condemnation my heart was oppressed,
No peace could I find, and no comfort, no rest,
Till Jesus' voice whispered so sweetly to me,
"Come lay down your burden at Calvary."

Chorus:
At Calvary, at Calvary,
My burdens fell off and from sin I was free;
To Jesus forever the glory shall be;
I lost all my burdens at Calvary.

2 I plunged in the fountain, the remedy sure
For sin and uncleanness, - the unfailing cure:
My burden fell off, - and today I can see
There's perfect salvation at Calvary. [Chorus]

3 Oh, wonderful cross with its arms stretching wide
For you and for me, and the whole world beside:
No one is excluded, and mercy is free
For ev'ry lost sinner at Calvary. [Chorus]
