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]
