Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
All sufficient grace!
Never powerless!
It is Christ who lives in me,
In His exhaustlessness.
Never powerless!
It is Christ who lives in me,
In His exhaustlessness.

’Twas grace that wrote my name
In life’s eternal book;
’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.
In life’s eternal book;
’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.

Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the pilgrim road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
To tread the pilgrim road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.

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

Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in love the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
Through everlasting days;
It lays in love the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

Oh, let that grace inspire
My heart with strength divine;
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.
My heart with strength divine;
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

Wow! What an awesome God we serve. What a gracious God He is. I have searched for this song for years. I only knew the Yoruba version. I just prayed today that God would help me locate it in English. After some manipulative translations I finally got it here. I'm grateful to God Who gave the inspiration to write the song, the wisdom of technology that created search engines and the grace upon whosoever it was that uploaded it here.
This has been the song of my life story--grace, wonderful grace! Another great song in my heart tonight is "More about Jesus..." May His grace lead us Home. Thanks!

Hallelujah! We need to enjoy the Lord as our all-sufficient grace by singing hymns and praising Him! Singing hymns must be part our daily living instead of speaking in corrupt way! We must minister grace to others! Hallelujah!

When I was a kid in the Methodist church of Nigeria, I used to hear my mother sing this song in Yoruba, (ore ofe sha) and whenever I heard her sing it I do understand the value she placed on the song, herself coming from a Muslim background. I didn't fully understand the import of the song until many years after when I dedicated my live to Christ and looking back now, it is only the Grace of God that has brought me thus far, anytime I hear or sing this song, tears well up in my eyes as it does now. Grace really is a charming sound.
