Grace So Wondrous

Representative Text

1 Wandering in the path of sin,
Heart impure and doubts within,
Groping, stumbling all the way,
Darkness filling all my day.

Chorus:
Grace so wondrous, grace so free,
Is the grace of God to me;
Grace abundant, more and more, more and more,
Till I reach the other shore.

2 Then I heard my Saviour, say,
"Follow Me; I am the Way;
I will cleanse away your sin,
I will make you pure within." [Chorus]

3 Then I gave him all my soul,
And he blessed and made me whole;
His blest Spirit came to me,
Making me so glad and free. [Chorus]

4 So with thee the way along,
I will follow, and be strong;
Keep me by thy matchless grace,
Till I see thee face to face. [Chorus]

5 Bring me to that happy shore,
Where the saved will sin no more;
I will all thy praise prolong
In the everlasting song. [Chorus]
