Author: Haldor Lillenas, 1885-1959 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:8 Refrain First Line: Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus Lyrics: 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--
the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Refrain:
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
higher than the mountain,
sparkling like a fountain,
all sufficient for even me;
broader than the scope of my transgressions,
greater far than all my sin and shame;
oh, 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--
the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]
3 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
reaching the most defiled,
by its transforming power
I now am God’s dear child.
Purchasing peace and heaven
for all eternity--
the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain] Topics: Healing, Forgiveness; Grace Used With Tune: WONDERFUL GRACE
