Grace is the
sweetest sound
That ever reached our ears,
When conscience charged and justice frown'd,
`Twas grace removed our fears.
`Tis freedom to the
slave,
`Tis light and liberty;
It takes its terror from the grave,
From death its victory.
Grace is a mine of
wealth
Laid open to the poor;
Grace is the sov'reign spring of health;
'Tis Life for evermore.
Of grace then let us
sing !
(A joyful, wondrous theme !)
Who grace has brought, shall glory bring,
And we shall reign with Him.
Then shall we see His
face
With all the saints above,
And sing forever of His grace,
For ever of His love.
S.M. T. Kelly, 1802
