Verse 1
Grace! 'Tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear,
And all the earth shall hear,
And all the earth shall hear.
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear,
And all the earth shall hear,
And all the earth shall hear.
Verse 2
Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan,
Which drew the wondrous plan,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan,
Which drew the wondrous plan,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
Verse 3
'Twas grace that wrote my name
In God's eternal book:
'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb
'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb
Who all my sorrows took,
Who all my sorrows took,
Who all my sorrows took.
In God's eternal book:
'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb
'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb
Who all my sorrows took,
Who all my sorrows took,
Who all my sorrows took.
Verse 4
Grace led my roving feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God,
While pressing on to God,
While pressing on to God.
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God,
While pressing on to God,
While pressing on to God.
Verse 5
Grace taught my soul to pray,
And made my eyes o'erflow:
'Twas grace which kept me to this day,
'Twas grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go,
And will not let me go,
And will not let me go.
And made my eyes o'erflow:
'Twas grace which kept me to this day,
'Twas grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go,
And will not let me go,
And will not let me go.
Verse 6
Grace all the work shall crown,
Thro' everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone;
And well deserves the praise,
And well deserves the praise,
And well deserves the praise.
Thro' everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone;
And well deserves the praise,
And well deserves the praise,
And well deserves the praise.
