Free Grace

Verse 1

Self-righteous souls on works rely, And boast their mortal dignity; But if I lisp a song of praise, Grace is the note my soul shall raise.

Verse 2

'Twas grace that quickened me when dead, And grace my soul to Jesus led; Grace brings me pardon for my sin-- 'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.

Verse 3

'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross, 'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss; In Jesus' grace my soul is strong-- Grace is my hope and Christ my song.

Verse 4

'Tis grace defends when danger's near; And 'tis by grace I persevere; 'Tis grace constrains my soul to love-- Free grace is all they sing above.

Verse 5

Through endless years of grace I'll sing, Adore and bless my heavenly King; I'll cast my crown before His throne, Saved by His sov'reign grace alone.
