124. Wonderful grace

1 Joyful sound that I love to hear,
Tidings of heavenly grace,
Music sweet to my ravished ear,
Hope of a dying race.

Refrain:
Wonderful grace! infinite grace!
Infinite grace to me!
Wonderful grace! wonderful grace,
Infinite, rich and free!

2 Spread the news of redeming love,
Publish it far and wide,
Speak of Christ from the heav'n above,
Tell of the Lamb that died. [Refrain]

3 Tell the story the world around,
Shout it in ev'ry place,
Fill the world with the blessed sound,
Sing of the wondrous grace.[[Refrain]
