Lyrics

Proclaim, saith Christ, My won­drous grace
To all the sons of men;
He that be­lieves, and is bap­tized,
Salvation shall ob­tain.

Let plen­te­ous grace des­cend on those
Who, hop­ing in Thy Word,
This day have pub­lic­ly de­clared
That Je­sus is their Lord.

With cheer­ful feet, may they ad­vance
And run the Christ­ian race;
And thro’ the trou­bles of the way,
Find all suf­fi­cient grace.
