Music and words by Ethelwyn Taylor
Far dearer than all
That the world can impart
Was the message that came to my heart;
How that Jesus alone
For my sin did atone,
And Calvary covers it all.
Calvary covers it all,
My past with its sin and stain;
My guilt and despair Jesus took on Him there,
And Calvary covers it all.
The stripes that He bore
And the thorns that He wore
Told His mercy and love evermore;
And my heart bowed in shame
As I called on His name,
And Calvary covers it all.
How matchless the grace
When I looked on the face
Of this Jesus, my crucified Lord;
My redemption complete
I then found at His feet,
And Calvary covers it all.
How blessed the thought,
That my soul, by Him bought,
Shall be His in the glory on high;
Where with gladness and song
I'll be one of the throng,
And Calvary covers it all.
