The Gospel Awakening ‎#29

29. Love and Grace

1. Oh! 'twas love that brought me to Him,
And 'tis love that keeps me there;
By His grace it was I knew Him,
Now my Savior dear and fair.

Chorus:
Love and grace, His love and grace,
I will sing in ev'ry place,
Till I reach that blissful shore,
Where I'll praise Him evermore!

2. Dark it was before I found Him,
And the way I could not see;
Now the light that shines around Him,
As I follow, falls on me. [Chorus]

3. Oh, how blest to walk with Jesus!
Joy we never knew before;
From our fears His presence frees us,
While we trust Him more and more. [Chorus]

4. Now it is by faith I view Him,
As I walk this narrow way;
But He soon will call me to Him,
In that bright approaching day. [Chorus]

5. Then my joy will be forever;
There no clouds will intervene;
And the darkness comes there never
I shall see Him as I'm seen. [Chorus]
