Ah, grace! What wondrous sound

1
Ah, grace! What wondrous sound!
It comforts, soothes our hearts;
Its echo in all heav'n resounds,
Heard in earth's farthest parts.
 
We by grace are saved!
'Tis true gospel's key.
Sinners through His death are saved,
E'en sinners such as me.
2
In Christ, grace hidden is;
Its wealth, none can relate;
Redemption it accomplishes
To thus emancipate.
3
By grace my sin's redeemed;
By grace I've been forgiv'n,
To see His glorious face esteemed,
Enjoy the peace of heav'n.
4
Grace life imparts to me;
I with God's nature bloom;
A vassal of His name I'll be,
Set free from Hades' gloom.
