Hymn · Grace
Grace! 'Tis a Charming Sound
Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: Lisbon.
Grace! ’tis a charming sound,Harmonious to the ear;Heav’n with the echo shall resound,And all the earth shall hear.
Grace first contrived the wayTo save rebellious man;And all the steps that grace displayWhich drew the wondrous plan.
Grace first inscribed my nameIn God’s eternal book;’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,Who all my sorrows took.
Grace led my roving feetTo tread the heavenly road;And new supplies each hour I meetWhile pressing on to God.
Grace taught my soul to prayAnd made my eyes o’erflow;’Twas grace that kept me to this dayAnd will not let me go.
Grace all the work shall crownThrough everlasting days;It lays in heaven the topmost stoneAnd well deserves the praise.
