Lyrics

Saved by grace, oh, won­der­ful sto­ry,
Jesus the Sav­ior has come from on high;
Saved by grace, an heir to His glo­ry,
I shall in­her­it it by and by.

Refrain

Saved by grace, oh, won­der­ful sto­ry,
Sing it o’er and ov­er again;
Saved by grace, oh, tell of His glo­ry;
Jesus is com­ing, com­ing again.

Saved by grace, and jus­ti­fied free­ly,
Jesus the Cru­ci­fied rose from the grave;
Saved by grace, oh, mar­vel­ous deal­ing,
Life ev­er­last­ing to me He gave.

Refrain

Saved by grace, and sanc­ti­fied thro’ Him,
Christ the As­cend­ed now pleads for His own;
Saved by grace, I sing hal­le­lu­jah!
I shall be­hold Him up­on His throne.

Refrain

Saved by grace, oh, bless­èd sal­va­tion,
Christ the Re­deem­er is com­ing again;
Saved by grace, oh, glo­ri­ous sta­tion,
Jesus is com­ing, He comes to reign.
