Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Grace 'tis charming sound

Grace! 'tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heav'n with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear.

• All sufficient grace! Never powerless! It is Christ who lives in me, In His exhaustlessness.

'Twas grace that wrote my name In life's eternal book;

'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took.

Grace taught my wandering feet To tread the pilgrim road;

And new supplies each hour I meet While pressing on to God.

Grace taught my heart to pray,

And made my eyes o'erflow;

'Tis grace which kept me to this day, And will not let me go.

Grace all the work shall crown Through everlasting days;

It lays in love the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.

Oh, let that grace inspire My heart with strength divine;

May all my powers to Thee aspire, And all my days be Thine.
