Sov'reign grace o'er sin abounding,
|
|
| 1. | Sov'reign grace o'er sin abounding, |
| | Ransomed souls, the tidings swell; |
| | 'Tis a deep that knows no sounding, |
| | Who its breadth or length can tell? |
| | On its glories, on its glories, |
| | Let my soul forever dwell! |
| | On its glories, on its glories, |
| | Let my soul forever dwell! |
| 2. | What from Christ the soul can sever, |
| | Bound by everlasting bands? |
| | Once in Him, in Him forever, |
| | Thus th' eternal cov'nant stands. |
| | None shall pluck thee, none shall pluck thee |
| | >From the Savior's mighty hands! |
| | None shall pluck thee, none shall pluck thee |
| | >From the Savior's mighty hands! |
| 3. | Heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus, |
| | Long ere time its race begun; |
| | To His name eternal praises, |
| | O what wonders love has done! |
| | One with Jesus, one with Jesus, |
| | By eternal union one. |
| | One with Jesus, one with Jesus, |
| | By eternal union one. |
| 4. | On such love, my soul, still ponder, |
| | Love, so great, so rich, so free; |
| | Say, while lost in holy wonder, |
| | Why, O Lord, such love to me? |
| | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
| | Grace shall reign eternally! |
| | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
| | Grace shall reign eternally! |
