1 Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Chorus:
Saved by grace alone!
This is all my plea:
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.
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. [Chorus]
3 Grace taught my wand'ring feet
To tread the heav'nly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God. [Chorus]
4 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. [Chorus]
5 O let Thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine;
May all my pow'rs to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine. [Chorus]
