Hymnal: The Cokesbury Worship Hymnal #153 (1938) First Line: Twas Love that gave at greatest cost Refrain First Line: It was Love that took my place Lyrics: 1 ‘Twas Love that gave at greatest cost A Life, that mine should not be lost. The Love that died in deep despair My debt fully satisfied there. Chorus: It was Love that took my place On the cross of Calvary; it was grace, redeeming grace, That paid my ransom full and free. Over sin, without, within, I have the victory, Thro’ grace, marvelous grace, that lives in me. 2 The love that freely al forgives In fullness now within me lives; Thro’ ev’ry trial this I see; His grace is sufficient for me. [Chorus] 3 God’s love, His mercy and His grace, Combine to raise a fallen race; His hand is ready, ere we call, Held out with forgiveness for all.

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Author of "Love, Mercy and Grace" Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
