1 I well remember when I saw Myself condemned before the law, Heard Sinai’s awful thunders roll, While fear possessed my trembling soul.
Refrain: “Not under law,” that could not save, But doomed me to a hopeless grave; “But under grace,” where I am free Through Jesus Christ who died for me.
2 ‘Twas then in sore dismay I turned, And sought the mercy I had spurned; ‘Twas then, by faith, mine eyes could see Christ dying on the Cross for me. [Refrain]
3 That rapturous hour I’ll ne’er forget, When God forgave me all my debt, And, what the law could ne’er have done, His grace accomplished by His Son. [Refrain]
4 No more the threatening law I dread, But I have constant peace instead. And live, through Him who took my place, “Not under law but under grace.” [Refrain]
5 No condemnation now have I, Unclouded sunshine fills my sky; Mine is a happy dwelling place, “Not under law but under grace.” [Refrain] | Victorious Life Hymns #272 (1919) |
