Sovereign Grace

Verse 1

Sovereign grace o’er sin abounding! Ransomed souls, the tidings swell; ’Tis a deep that knows no sounding; Who its breadth or length can tell? On its glories, Let my soul for ever dwell.

Verse 2

What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? Once in him, in him for ever; Thus the eternal covenant stands. None shall pluck thee From the Strength of Israel’s hands.

Verse 3

Heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus, Long ere time its race begun; To his name eternal praises; O what wonders love has done! One with Jesus, By eternal union one.

Verse 4

On such love, my soul, still ponder, Love so great, so rich, so free; Say, whilst lost in holy wonder, Why, O Lord, such love to me? Hallelujah! Grace shall reign eternally.
