grace this a charming sound

Grace! - This a charming sound,

harmonious to the ear.

Heaven with the echo shall resound,

and all the earth shall hear.




Saved by grace alone!

This is all my plea:

Jesus died for all mankind,

and Jesus died for me.




„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 heavenly road,

and new supplies each hour I meet,

while pressing on to God.




Grace taught my soul to pray,

and made mine eyes o‟er;

„This grace has kept me to this day,

and will not let me go.




Oh, let Thy grace inspire

my soul with strength divine!

May all my powers to Thee aspire,

and all my days be Thine
