338. Wonderful Grace of Jesus

1 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin,
How shall my tongue describe it?
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Refrain:
Wonderful the matchless grace,
the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea.
Higher than the mountain; sparkling like a fountain;
All-sufficient grace for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions;
Greater far than all my sin and shame.
O magnify the precious name of Jesus;
Praise His name!

2 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost.
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]

3 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled.
By its transforming power
Making him God’s dear child.
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]
