11366. Grace Is Free

1 There’s nothing like the old, old story,
Grace is free, grace is free!
Which saints and martyrs tell in glory,
Grace is free, grace is free!
It brought them thro’ the flood and flame,
By it they fought and overcame,
And now they cry thro’ His dear name,
Grace is free, grace is free!

Refrain:
There’s nothing like the old, old story,
Grace is free, grace is free!
Which saints and martyrs tell in glory,
Grace is free, grace is free!

2 There’s only hope in trusting Jesus,
Grace is free, grace is free!
From sin that doomed, He died to free us,
Grace is free, grace is free!
Who would not tell the story sweet
Of love so wondrous, so complete,
And fall in rapture at His feet,
Grace is free, grace is free! [Refrain]

3 From age to age the theme is telling,
Grace is free, grace is free!
From shore to shore the strains are swelling,
Grace is free, grace is free!
And when that time shall cease to be,
And faith is crowned with victory,
’Twill sound thro’ all eternity,
Grace is free, grace is free! [Refrain]
