S. M.
By grace are ye saved.
Eph. 2:8.
Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
2 Grace first contrived the way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
3 Grace led our wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour we meet,
While pressing on to God.
4 Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves our praise.
