Grace, ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Saved by grace alone!
This is all my plea:
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.
’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 taught my wand’ring feet
To tread the heav’nly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
Grace taught my soul to pray
And made mine eyes o’erflow;
’Twas grace which kept me to this day
And will not let me go.
O let Thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine:
May all my pow’rs to Thee aspire
And all my days be Thine.
