CAC GHB 261 : GRACE TIS A CHARMING SOUND
Hymn 261: Grace! 'Tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man, And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. Grace first inscribed my name In God's eternal book; 'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took. Grace led my wandering feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet While pressing on to God. Grace taught my soul to pray And made mine eyes o'erflow; 'Twas grace that kept me to this day And will not let me go. Oh , let thy grace inspire My soul with strength divine! May all my pow’rs to thee aspire And al my days be thine.
