Lyrics

In grace the ho­ly God
Did full sal­va­tion plan,
Electing in His so­ve­reign grace
To save re­bel­li­ous man.

Refrain

By grace are ye saved thro’ faith,
Thro’ faith, thro’ faith,
Thro’ faith, and that not of your­selves;
Thro’ faith, and that not of your­selves;
Not of works, not of works,
Not of works, not of works,
Not of works, lest any man should boast;
It is the gift of God;
Not of works, lest any man should boast;
It is the gift of God, it is the gift of God,
It is the gift of God, it is the gift of God,
The gift of God.

This grace of God ap­pears
In Je­sus Christ His Son;
He, lift­ed on the cross of shame,
The grace of God makes known.

Refrain

To all who do be­lieve
In God, thro’ Christ re­vealed
By grace, they full sal­va­tion have,
And Sons of God are sealed.
