It brought them thro’ the flood and flame, By it they fought and overcame, And now they cry thro’ His dear name, Grace is free, grace is free! Refrain: There’s nothing like the old, old story, Grace is free, grace is free! Which saints and martyrs tell in glory, Grace is free, grace is free! 2 There’s only hope in trusting Jesus, Grace is free, grace is free! From sin that doomed, He died to free us, Grace is free, grace is free! Who would not tell the story sweet Of love so wondrous, so complete, And fall in rapture at His feet, Grace is free, grace is free! [Refrain] 3 From age to age the theme is telling, Grace is free, grace is free! From shore to shore the strains are swelling, Grace is free, grace is free! And when that time shall cease to be, And faith is crowned with victory, ’Twill sound thro’ all eternity, Grace is free, grace is free!

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[There’s nothing like the old, old story]" in Showers of Blessing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
