By grace I’m saved, grace free and bound­less;
My soul, be­lieve and doubt it not;
Why stag­ger at this word of pro­mise?
Hath Scrip­ture ev­er false­hood taught?
Nay; then this word must true re­main:
By grace thou, too, shalt Heav’n ob­tain.

By grace! None dare lay claim to mer­it;
Our works and con­duct have no worth,
God in His love sent our Re­deem­er,
Christ Je­sus, to this sin­ful earth;
His death did for our sins atone,
And we are saved by grace alone.

By grace! O, mark this word of pro­mise
When thou art by thy sins op­pressed,
When Sa­tan plagues thy trou­bled con­sci­ence,
And when thy heart is seek­ing rest.
What rea­son can­not com­pre­hend
God by His grace to thee doth send.

By grace! This ground of faith is cer­tain;
So long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by in­spi­ra­tion,
What in His Word our God com­mands,
What our whole faith must rest up­on,
Is grace alone, grace in His Son.
