Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #7 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
2.
Grace first contrived the way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
3.
Grace first inscribed my name
In God's eternal book;
'Twas grace that geve me to the Lame,
Who all my sorrows took.
4.
Grace led my roving feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.
5.
Grace taught my soul to pray,
And made my eyes o'erflow;
'Twas grace that kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.
6.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
