1.

Grace! 'tis a charming sound,

Harmonious to the ear;

Heaven with the echo shall resound,

And all the earth shall hear.

2.

Grace first contrived the way

To save rebellious man;

And all the steps that grace display,

Which drew the wondrous plan.

3.

Grace first inscribed my name

In God's eternal book;

'Twas grace that geve me to the Lame,

Who all my sorrows took.

4.

Grace led my roving feet

To tread the heavenly road;

And new supplies each hour I meet,

While pressing on to God.

5.

Grace taught my soul to pray,

And made my eyes o'erflow;

'Twas grace that kept me to this day,

And will not let me go.

6.

Grace all the work shall crown

Through everlasting days;

It lays in heaven the topmost stone,

And well deserves the praise.
