186. Grace! 'Tis a Charming Sound

1 Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

Refrain:
Saved by grace alone!
This is all my plea:
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.

2 'Twas grace that wrote my name
In life's eternal book;
'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took. (Refrain)

3 Grace taught my wand'ring feet
To tread the heav'nly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

4 Grace taught my soul to pray,
Anbd made mine eyes o'erflow;
'Twas grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go (Refrain)

5 O let Thy grace inspire
My soul with strength divine:
May all my pow'rs to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine. (Refrain)
