1.By grace I'm saved—grace free and boundless!
My heart, believ'st thou this or not?
Why tremblest thou with terror groundless?
Has ever God a falsehood taught?
His Word is true—then this must be:
By grace there is a crown for thee.

2.By grace! our works are all rejected,
All claims of merit pass for naught;
The mighty Savior, long expected,
To us this blissful truth has brought,
That He by death redeems our race,
And we are saved alone by grace.

3.By grace! mark well this phrase's meaning,
When sin rolls sorrows o'er thy breast,
When Satan threats with pride o'erweening,
When troubled conscience sighs for rest:
What reason ne'er can comprehend
It pleases God by grace to send.

4.By grace His Son, on earth appearing,
Vouchsafed beneath thy woe to bend;
Hadst thou, damnation justly fearing,
Done aught to render Him thy friend?
Was't not that He thy welfare sought,
And but by grace deliv'rance wrought?

5.By grace! this ground of our salvation
As long as God is true endures:
What saints have penned by inspiration,
What God to our poor soul secures,
What all our faith must rest upon,
Is grace, free grace through His dear Son.
