Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#586

586. Grace Greater Than Our Sin

1 Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt,
yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured,
there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Refrain:
Grace, grace, God's grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God's grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin.

2 Dark is the stain that we cannot hide,
what can vail to wash it away?
Look! there is flowing a crimson tide;
Whiter than snow you may be today. [Refrain]

3 Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
freely bestowed on all who believe;
you who are longing to see His face,
will you this moment His grace receive? [Refrain]
