Hymn 261
Grace! 'Tis a charming sound
Meter: S.M. & Ref.
Scripture: Ephesians 2:8
1
Grace! 'Tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
CHORUS
Saved by grace alone!
This is all my plea:
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.
2
'Twas grace that wrote my name
In thy eternal book;
'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.
3
Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
4
Grace taught my soul to pray
And made mine eyes o'erflow;
'Twas grace that kept me to this day
And will not let me go.
5
Oh, let thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine!
May all my pow’rs to thee aspire
And all my days be thine.
