Grace, ‘tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
‘Twas grace that wrote my name
In life’s eternal book;
‘Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.
Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display
Which drew the wondrous plan.
Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road:
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
Grace taught my soul to pray,
And made my eyes o’erflow;
‘Tis grace has kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.
Oh, let Thy grace inspire
My soul with strength Divine:
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.
---Alternative verses---
Grace 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to my ear!
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the saints shall hear
Grace first ordained the way
To save rebellious man
And all the steps that grace displays
Which drew the wondrous plan
Grace first inscribed my name
In God's eternal Book;
'T was grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.
Grace led my roving feet
To tread the heavenly road
And new supplies, each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God
Grace guides my wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road.
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.
Grace taught my soul to pray
And pardoning love to know
And Grace has kept me to this day
And will not let me go.
Grace all the work shall crown
In everlasting days
It lays in heaven the topmost stone
And well deserves the praise.
Grace 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear!
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear
Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man;
And all its steps that grace display
Which drew the wondrous plan.
Grace taught my roving feet
To tread the heavenly road:
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.
