Grace Abounding

Verse 1

Up! away! help tell the story Of this grace abounding glory, Ransomed ones, with much forgiven; Point the way to peace and heaven.

Chorus

Hallelujah! grace abounding, This the news thro’ earth resounding, Christ bestowing—glorious Giver— Grace is flowing—blessed river!

Verse 2

Up! away! the time redeeming; Noontide light e’en now is beaming, They who long have slept, are waking, Nations from sin’s thralldom breaking.

Verse 3

Grace abounding, onward going, Just for sinners overflowing; Wooing, cleansing, ever healing, Love of heav’n to hearts revealing.

Verse 4

All thro’ grace are robes made whiter Than the snow; and crowns are brighter That are God’s beloved adorning, Than the brightest star of morning.

Verse 5

Up! away! help tell the story Of this grace-abounding glory, Softly speak of Calv’ry’s mountain, Shout beside the cleansing fountain.
