LyicsGrace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
Grace led our wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour we meet
While pressing on to God.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting day;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves our praise.
