Hymns of Grace

********************

I love the old time Christian hymns. They tell of God's love for us and the price that he paid to redeem us. God's Grace is wonderful. He sent Jesus to die for us. Jesus paid the price! I haven't found even one Contemporary Christian song that I like. They are, in my opinion, too generic. They remind me of mantras. The hymns that I have included on these pages are hymns of God's Grace. They tell of God's Gift of Salvation.

Years I spent in vanity and pride

Caring not my Lord was crucified

Knowing not it was for me he died

At Calvary

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

Mercy there was great and grace was free

Pardon there was multiplied to me

There my burdened soul found liberty

At Calvary

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in thee

Let the water and the blood

From thy wounded side which flowed

Be of sin the double cure

Cleanse from wrath and make me pure.

Could my tears forever flow

Could my zeal no languor know

These for sin could not atone

Thou must save and thou alone.

In my hand no price I bring

Simply to thy cross I cling.

While I draw this fleeting breath

When my eyes shall close in death

When I rise to worlds unknown

And behold thee on thy throne

Rock of Ages ,cleft for me

Let me hide myself in thee.
