GRACE! 'TIS A CHARMING SOUND

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

Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

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

Grace taught my soul to pray,
And, made my eyes o'erflow;
'Tis grace has kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.

O let that grace inspire
My soul with strength divine;
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
