163. Wonderful Grace of Jesus

1 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it.
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Chorus Part 1 and [2]
Wonderful the matchless grace, the matchless grace of Jesus,
[Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,]
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea;
[Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;]
Wonderful grace, all-sufficient for me, for even me.
[Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain, all sufficient grace for even me.]
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
[Broader than the scope of my transgressions, sing it!]
Greater far than all my sin and shame;
[Greater far than all my sin and shame, my sin and shame;]
O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
[O magnify the precious name of Jesus,]
Praise His name!
[Praise His name!]

2 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

3 Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power
Making him God's dear child.
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity--
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
