Words by William R Newell

Music by Daniel B. Towner

 

[verse 1]

G                  D7           D              G

Far dear - er than all that the world can im - part

 

        G2           A7         D      D7

Was the message that came to my heart;

 

         G                        G7          C

How that Je - sus a - lone for my sin did a - tone

 

    G       D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[chorus]

        D7        G

Calvary covers it all,

 

   Em            D       G

My past with its sin and stain;

 

   C               C7         G

My guilt and des - pair Jesus took on Him there,

 

            D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[verse 2]

G                   D7           D              G

The stripes that He bore and the thorns that He wore

         G2           A7          D      D7

Told His mer - cy and love ever - more;

 

       G                         G7            C

And my heart bowed in shame as I called on His name,

 

    G       D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[chorus]

        D7        G

Calvary covers it all,

 

   Em            D       G

My past with its sin and stain;

 

   C               C7         G

My guilt and des - pair Jesus took on Him there,

 

            D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[verse 3]

G                 D7            D             G

How matchless the grace, when I looked on the face

 

        G2           A7        D      D7

Of this Je - sus, my crucified Lord;

 

        G                        G7           C

My re - demption complete I then found at His feet,

 

    G       D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[chorus]

        D7        G

Calvary covers it all,

 

   Em            D       G

My past with its sin and stain;

 

   C               C7         G

My guilt and des - pair Jesus took on Him there,

 

            D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[verse 4]

G                  D7               D            G

How bles - sed the thought, that my soul, by Him bought,

         G2         A7          D      D7

Shall be His in the glo - ry on high;

 

           G                         G7         C

Where with gladness and song I'll be one of the throng;

 

    G       D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.

 

 

[chorus]

        D7        G

Calvary covers it all,

 

   Em            D       G

My past with its sin and stain;

 

   C               C7         G

My guilt and des - pair Jesus took on Him there,

 

            D7        G

And Calvary covers it all.
