Harmonious to the ear! Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contriv'd the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies, each hour, I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace taught my soul to pray, And made my eyes o'erflow: 'Twas 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 heav'n the topmost stone; And well deserves the praise. Scripture: Ephesians 2:5

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #317 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 Self righteous souls on works rely, And boast their mortal dignity; But if I lisp a song of praise, Grace is the note my soul shall raise. 2 'Twas grace that quicken'd me when dead, And grace my soul to Jesus led; Grace brings me pardon for my sin-- 'Tis grace subdues my lusts within. 3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross, 'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss; In Jesus' grace my soul is strong-- Grace is my hope and Christ my song. 4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near; And 'tis by grace I persevere; 'Tis grace constrains my soul to love-- Free grace is all they sing above. 5 Thus 'tis alone of grace I boast, And 'tis in grace alone I trust; For all that's past grace is my theme, For what's to come 'tis still the same. 6 Thro' endless years, of grace I'll sing, Adore and bless my heavenly king; I'll cast my crown before his throne, And shout free grace to him alone. Scripture: Ephesians 2:5

Fain would I have my soul renew'd: I mourn for sin, and trust the Lord To have it pardon'd and subdu'd. 4 O may thy grace its power display! Let guilt and death no longer reign; Save me in thine appointed way, Nor let my humble faith be vain! Scripture: Romans 1:16

In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #319 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims, for Sion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love from eternity for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame, And now with the cords of his kindness he draws, And brings us to love his great name. 3 O had he not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms his love had ne'er felt: We all would have liv'd, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in thy sight. 5 Urged on by this grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above, Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near, And drink in the streams of his love. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name, To him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of our songs. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:7

Scripture: John 1:29

Be this my happy choice, My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 O that I could with favour'd John Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest. Scripture: Ephesians 3:17

I’ve much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. Scripture: Luke 19:10
