Grace! ‘Tis A Charming Sound

Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
‘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 wandering feet
To tread the pilgrim road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
Grace taught my heart to pray,
And made my eyes o’erflow;
‘Tis grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in love the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
Oh, let that grace inspire
My heart with strength divine;
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine
Chorus
All sufficient grace!
Never powerless!
It is Christ who lives in me,
In His exhaustlessness
