Lyrics

’Tis grace! ’tis grace! ’tis won­der­ful grace!
This great sal­va­tion brings;
The soul, de­liv­ered of its load,
In sweet­est rap­ture sings.

Refrain

’Tis won­der­ful grace! ’Tis won­der­ful grace!
Wonderful, won­der­ful, won­der­ful grace!
’Tis won­der­ful grace! ’Tis won­der­ful grace!
Flowing still, free­ly for me.

’Tis grace! ’tis grace! ’tis won­der­ful grace!
Which saves the soul from sin;
The pow­er of ris­ing ev­il slays,
And reigns su­preme with­in.

Refrain

’Tis grace! ’tis grace! ’tis won­der­ful grace!
Its streams are full and free;
Are flow­ing now for all the race;
They even flow to me.

Refrain

’Tis grace! ’tis grace! ’tis won­der­ful grace!
Which bears the soul above;
The light which gleams from Je­sus’ face
Is rap­ture, peace and love.
