1. Grace has a thrilling sound
To each believer's ear;
That peace with God through Christ is found
Is news I gladly hear.
Grace first devised the way
To save our fallen race;
The Father sent His only Son
Who came to take our place.
2. Grace first inscribed my name
In God's eternal book,
And grace has brought me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.
Grace led my wand'ring feet
To tread the heav'nly road,
And grace supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
3. Grace taught my soul to pray
And made my eyes o'erflow;
His grace has kept me to this day
And will not let me go. Grace
all our Work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
The heav'nly home God gives His own
Shall echo with our praise.
