Grace, ‘tis a charming sound

47
						S.M.


1	Grace, ‘tis a charming sound,
	Harmonious to my ear;
	Heaven with the echo shall resound,
	And all the earth shall hear.

2	Grace taught my wandering feet
	To tread the heavenly road:
	And new supplies each hour I meet,
	While pressing on to God.

3	‘Twas Grace that wrote my name
	In life's eternal Book;
	'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
	Who all my sorrows took.

4	Grace taught my soul to pray,
	And made my eyes o’erflow;
	‘Tis grace has kept me to this day,
	And will not let me go.

5	O let that grace inspire
	My soul with strength Divine:
	May all my powers to Thee aspire,
	And all my days be Thine.

6	Grace all the work shall crown
	Through everlasting days
	It lays in heaven the topmost stone
	And well deserves the praise
