Lyics

Grace! 't is a charming sound,

Harmonious to the ear;

Heav'n with the echo shall resound

And all the earth shall hear.



Grace first contriv'd the way

To save rebellious man;

And all the steps that grace display,

Which drew the wondrous plan.



Grace led our wand'ring feet,

To tread the heav'nly road;

And new supplies each hour we meet,

While pressing on to God.



Grace all the work shall crown

Through everlasting days;

It lays in heav'n the topmost stone,

And well deserves our praise.
