The Hymn "At Calvary" was written by William Newell in 1895. At the time he was Assistant Superintendent at Moody Bible Institute. He wrote the lyrics on the back of an envelope between classes. Newell passed the lyrics off to Daniel Towner, music director at Moody. Towner went in a music room and worked out the music. Within an hour, the two friends were singing and playing this robust hymn of praise. It is one of my favorite hymns to play on the piano and have our church family sing. I hope you've enjoyed learning about how this great and timeless hymn was written. How two gifted friends, listened to what God had laid on their heart. Little did they know at the time, their hymn would still be sung over 100 years later. God knew . . as He sees each of our paths laid out in front of us. Listen for what He might be asking you to do. Have a blessed day dear ones.
