Grace! 'Tis a charming sound.

   Harmonious to the ear;

Heav'n with the echo shall resound,

   And all the earth shall hear.

 2 

'Twas grace that wrote my name

   In life's eternal book;

'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,

   Who all my sorrows took.

 3 

Grace taught my wandering feet

   To tread the pilgrim road;

And new supplies each hour I meet

   While pressing on to God.

 4 

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.

 5 

Grace all the work shall crown

   Through everlasting days;

It lays in love the topmost stone,

   And well deserves the praise.

 6 

Oh, let that grace inspire

   My heart with strength divine;

May all my powers to Thee aspire,

   And all my days be Thine.
