Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Once I was far from Jesus, a stranger to His grace Refrain First Line: Yes, by grace alone, God helping me, I'll stand Lyrics: 1 Once I was far from Jesus, a stranger to His grace, But o'er the mountains bleak and cold He sought my steps to trace; One day, praise God, He found me, and brought me to His fold, And now I feel His wondrous grace can ne'er be fully told. Chorus: Yes, by grace alone, God helping me, I'll stand. True and faithful till I reach the Glory land, Just trusting Him each moment for His help divine, Confessing Jesus, my blessed Saviour. 2 He's filled my life with blessing, and chang'd my heart's desire, To witness for Him day by day my soul is all on fire, Full well I know that dangers lie thickly round my way, But keeping sight of Jesus Christ I cannot go astray. [Chorus] 3 So more and more of Jesus I'm learing ev'ry day, With such a precious Friend and Guide I'll follow all the way; I can reflect His image, and ev'ry one around My testimony clear shall know to the Saviour I have found. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Once I was far from Jesus, a stranger to His grace]
