Lyrics

Oh, ’twas love, Oh, ’twas love,
Brought my Sav­ior from above;
Love for me, love for me
Brought Him down to Cal­va­ry.

Oh, ’tis grace, Oh, ’tis grace,
Finds for sin­ful me a place.
Grace for me! Grace for me!
Saving to eter­ni­ty.

Oh, ’tis pow­er, Oh ’tis pow­er,
Keeps me sure­ly hour by hour.
Power for me! Pow­er for me!
As I yield my­self to Thee.
