Grace! 'tis a charming sound.
|
|
| 1. | Grace! 'tis a charming sound. |
| | Harmonious to the ear; |
| | Heav'n with the echo shall resound, |
| | And all the earth shall hear. |
| | All sufficient grace! |
| | Never powerless! |
| | it is Christ who lives in me, |
| | In His exhaustlessness. |
| 2. | 'Twas grace that wrote my name |
| | In life's eternal book; |
| | 'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, |
| | Who all my sorrows took. |
| 3. | Grace taught my wandering feet |
| | To tread the pilgrim road; |
| | And new supplies each hour I meet |
| | While pressing on to God. |
| 4. | Grace taught my heart to pray, |
| | And made my eyes o'erflow; |
| | 'Tis grace which kept me to this day, |
| | And will not let me go. |
| 1. | Grace all the work shall crown |
| | Through everlasting days; |
| | It lays in love the topmost stone, |
| | And well deserves the praise. |
| 6. | Oh, let that grace inspire |
| | My heart with strength divine; |
| | May all my powers to Thee aspire, |
| | And all my days be Thine. |
