By Grace I'm Saved

1. By grace I'm saved\- grace free and bound- less! My heart, be- liev'st thou this or not? Why tremb- lest thou with ter- ror ground- less? Has ev- er God a false- hood taught? His Word is true- then this must be: By grace there is a crown for thee.

2. By grace! our works are all re- ject- ed, All claims of me- rit pass for naught; The might- y Sa- vior, long ex- pec- ted, To us this bliss- ful truth has brought, That He by death re- deems our race, And we are saved a- lone by grace.

3. By grace! mark well this phra- se's mean- ing, When sin rolls sor- rows o'er thy breast, When Sa- tan threats with pride o'er- ween- ing, When troub- led con- science sighs for rest: What rea- son ne'er can com- pre- hend It pleas- es God by grace to send.

4. By grace His Son, on earth ap- pear- ing, Vouch- safed be- neath thy woe to bend; Hadst thou, dam- na- tion just- ly fear- ing, Done aught to ren- der Him thy friend? Was't not that He thy wel- fare sought, And but by grace de- liv'r- ance wrought?

5. By grace! this ground of our sal- va- tion As long as God is true en- dures: What saints have penned by in- spi- ra- tion, What God to our poor soul se- cures, What all our faith must rest u- pon, Is grace, free grace through His dear Son.
