Lyrics

When I shall reach my home in glo­ry,
And see my Sav­ior face to face,
This shall be all my song and sto­ry,
A sin­ner saved by grace.

Refrain

Saved by grace, saved by grace,
Forever I’ll tell the story,
How Je­sus saved me by His grace,
And brought me to His glo­ry.

I’ll tell how by His blood He bought me
With all our lost and ran­somed race;
And how, so ten­der­ly He sought me
And saved me by His grace.

Refrain

I’ll sing how lov­ing­ly He led me
At last to yon­der heav’n­ly place;
And how He shep­herd­ed and fed me
And kept me by His grace.

Refrain

Yes, when I reach my home in glo­ry
And see my Sav­ior face to face;
This shall be all my song and sto­ry,
A sin­ner saved by grace.
