Free Grace. Rom. 3. 24; 1 Cor. 15. 10; 1 Tim. 1. 14

1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
  And boast their moral dignity;
  But if I lisp a song of praise,
  Each note shall echo, Grace, free grace!

2 ’Twas grace that quickened me when dead;
  ’Twas grace my soul to Jesus led;
  Grace brings a sense of pardoned sin,
  And grace subdues my lusts within.

3 Grace reconciles to every loss,
  And sweetens every painful cross;
  Defends my soul when danger’s near;
  By grace alone I persevere.

4 When from this world my soul removes
  To mansions of delight and love,
  I’ll cast my crown before his throne,
  And shout, Free grace, free grace alone!
