Hymn
By Grace Alone
(Based on Psalm 130)
By Grace Alone
Verse
1
Out
of the depths I cry to You,
Lord,
hear my voice of pleading;
Bend
down Your gracious ear, I pray,
Your
humble servant heeding.
If
You remember each misdeed,
And
of each thought and word take heed,
Who
can remain before You?
Only
by grace, by grace alone.
Verse
2
Your
pardon is a gift of love,
Your
grace alone must save us,
Our
works will not remove our guilt,
The
strictest life would fail us.
Let
none in their own merits boast,
But
let us own the Holy Ghost
For
He alone can change us:
Only
by grace, by grace alone.
Verse
3
Though
great our sins and sore our woes
His
grace much more aboundeth;
His
helping love no limit knows,
Our
utmost need it soundeth.
Our
kind and faithful Shepherd He,
Who
will set all His people free
From
all their sin and sorrow:
Only
by grace, by grace alone.
