Grace

Verse 1

Grace, when the sun is shining, Lord, When the sky is black; Grace, when I hear the unkind word, Or am off the track; Grace, when I’m elbowed in a nook Till I cannot turn; Grace, when the dinner will not cook, When the fire won’t burn.

Chorus

Grace, grace, all the way, Grace, grace, every day; Grace, more grace from Thee, Lord, for me.

Verse 2

Grace, when my duties all go wrong, When they seem all right; Grace when ’tis gladness, praise, and song, When I have to fight; Grace, when my clothes are fresh and new, When they’re worn and old; Grace, when my purse is empty, too, When it’s full of gold.

Verse 3

Grace, when the saved ones don’t act saved, And lay blame on me; Grace, when the grace I’ve asked and craved Seems denied by Thee. Grace, when the midnight hours I tell, When the morn is nigh; Grace, when I’m healthy, strong and well, When I come to die.
