1 Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, 
grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt, 
yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured, 
there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt. 

[Refrain:]
Grace, grace, God's grace, 
grace that will pardon and cleanse within; 
grace, grace, God's grace, 
grace that is greater than all our sin. 

2 Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. 
what can avail to wash it away? 
Look! there is flowing a crimson tide; 
whiter than snow you may be today. (Refrain) 

3 Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, 
freely bestowed on all who believe; 
you that are longing to see his face, 
will you this moment his grace receive? (Refrain)
