Grace So Wondrous

Representative Text

1 Wandering in the path of sin,
Heart impure and doubts within,
Groping, stumbling all the way,
Darkness filling all my day.

Chorus:
Grace so wondrous, grace so free,
Is the grace of God to me;
Grace abundant, more and more, more and more,
Till I reach the other shore.

2 Then I heard my Saviour, say,
"Follow Me; I am the Way;
I will cleanse away your sin,
I will make you pure within." [Chorus]

3 Then I gave him all my soul,
And he blessed and made me whole;
His blest Spirit came to me,
Making me so glad and free. [Chorus]

4 So with thee the way along,
I will follow, and be strong;
Keep me by thy matchless grace,
Till I see thee face to face. [Chorus]

5 Bring me to that happy shore,
Where the saved will sin no more;
I will all thy praise prolong
In the everlasting song. [Chorus]

Stanton, Frederick S. (New Bedford, Massachusetts, December 20, 1857--October 1, 1915, New Bedford). Held a Bachelor of Music degree and was ordained to the Advent Christian ministry. He held pastorates at Hudson Falls, New York and Lawrence, Mass. Ill health and a final paralysis limited activity in his later years, although he supplied in various churches around New Bedford. He wrote words and music to a number of hymns, and composed the music for other Advent Christian hymn-writers. He was secretary of the Southern Massachusetts District Conference of his denomination. He contributed to the preparation of several of its hymnals, and was co-editor of The Golden Sheaf (1898), Carols of Hope (1906) and The Advent Christian Hymnal (1913).… Go to person page >
