• Lyrics:
  Grace, 'tis a charming sound,
  Harmonious to mine ear;
  Heaven with the echo shall resound,
  And all the earth shall hear.
  
  Grace first contrived the way
  To save rebellious man;
  And all the steps that grace display
  Which drew the wondrous plan.
  
  Grace first inscribed my name
  In God's eternal book;
  'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
  Who all my sorrows took.
  
  Grace led my roving feet
  To tread the heavenly road;
  And new supplies each hour I meet,
  While pressing on to God.
  
  Grace taught my soul to pray
  And made mine eyes o'erflow;
  'Twas 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 heaven the topmost stone,
  And well deserves the praise.
  
  O let Thy grace inspire
  My soul with strength divine
  My all my powers to Thee aspire,
  And all my days be Thine.
