Sovereign grace o'er sin abounding,
Ransomed souls the tidings swell,
'Tis a deep that knows no sounding;
Who its breadth or length can tell?
|: 'Tis an ocean :|
Without bottom or a shore.
Once in Christ, in Christ for ever;
This the gospel-scheme declares;
Death, nor hell, nor sin shall sever
Jesus from his chosen heirs;
|: Blest in Jesus, :|
Members of his mystic frame.
Saints above, in full communion,
Shine unspotted with their head;
We can sing eternal union,
Though in thorny paths we tread:
|: One with Jesus :|
His dear saints have ever been.
Here Manasseh joins with Mary,
Full salvation tunes their tongues;
Here the blind, the halt, the weary,
Join to sing the song of songs;
|: Shouting free grace :|
Through the vast expanse of heaven.
