Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#110

110. All of Grace from Base to Summit

1. All of grace, from base to summit,
Grace on ev'ry course and stone,
Grace in planning, rearing, crowning,
Sov'reign grace and grace alone!

2. All of grace, oh! all of mercy,
Not of works least we should boast;
Frank forgiveness suits the vilest!
Largest debtors love the most!

3. All of grace, for useless strivings,
Perfect pardon's sweet content!
Life and light for death and darkness!
All of grace, omnipotent!

4. Grace bids sinners quit destruction,
Leads him to the Crucified,
Brings to Beulah, helps o'er Jordan,
Welcomes on the other side!

5. Grace for grace, and grace sufficient,
Grace abounding, grace that reigns,
Grace, the guarantee of glory!
Grace, grace, grace! How sweet the strains!
