Salvation is of Grace. Eph. 2. 8; 1 John 4. 10

1 How sovereign is the love of God
  To Israel’s favoured race!
  Paid is the mighty debt they owed;
  Salvation is of grace.

2 His love, without beginning, knew
  Each chosen sinner’s case;
  And sent his equal Son to show
  Salvation is of grace.

3 Immanuel had not bled and died,
  Nor suffered in our place,
  But for this truth (O sound it wide!),
  Salvation is of grace.

4 We had not known and loved the Son,
  Nor sung his worthy praise,
  But that himself the work begun;
  Salvation is of grace.
