Verse 1
By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless;
My soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Hath scripture ever falsehood taught?
No! This word must true remain;
By grace thou too will life obtain.
No! This word must true remain;
By grace thou too will life obtain.
Verse 2
By grace! None dare lay claim to merit;
Our works and conduct have no worth.
God in His love sent our Redeemer,
Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth.
His death did for our sins atone,
And we are saved by grace alone.
His death did for our sins atone,
And we are saved by grace alone.
Verse 3
By grace to timid hearts that tremble,
In tribulation's furnace tried,
By grace, in spite of fear and trouble,
The Father's heart is open wide.
Where could I help and strength secure
If grace were not my anchor sure?
Where could I help and strength secure
If grace were not my anchor sure?
Verse 4
By grace! On this I'll rest when dying;
In Jesus' promise I rejoice;
For though I know my heart's condition,
I also know my Savior's voice.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown
Since I am saved by grace alone.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown
Since I am saved by grace alone.
