High School Students' Beautiful Take on Classic Hymn 'At Calvary'

High school students gave their beautiful take on the classic hymn “At Calvary.” This is one rendition of the familiar tune near and dear to the hearts of many that you’ll likely find yourself returning to again and again. Watch the short, awe-inspiring clip to see and hear the gifted group of young people perform “At Calvary.”

Contemporary Christian music is terrific, incredibly popular and there are some genuinely fantastic, talented artists in that genre. Many churches have even started pulling away from hymns, instead filling their praise and worship services with those modern Christian songs.
If Contemporary Christian music is what you’re into and what you’d rather hear, then great. 
Have at it. However, is there anyone who honestly does not love hearing those beloved church hymns? Those classic hymns will forever and always top Contemporary Christian music. There is simply no competition between the two.

Hymns are so powerfully and wonderfully written. They evoke strong emotional responses from listeners every time, often bringing tears to the eyes. And it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard a hymn five or 500 times; they will never get old and tired.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of Fountainview Academy students performed the hymn “At Calvary.” While this is a hymn that many are no doubt familiar with and have heard hundreds, possibly even thousands of times, this rendition of the timeless tune has to be one of the best you’ve ever heard.

The abundance of musical talent, combined with the hymn's wonderful, powerful lyrics, makes for a lovely and simply dazzling listening experience. It will be nearly impossible not to get emotional while watching and listening to this short clip. Soon enough, you’ll find yourself singing those familiar and beautiful lyrics.

“Mercy, there was great, and grace was free
Pardon, there was multiplied to me
There, my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary”

The hymn is so beloved because it describes a place where we have been at one time or another. We are all sinners, but because of His grace, mercy and love, we have been forgiven.
