Verse 1
Marvelous grace
of our loving Lord,
grace that exceeds
our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary’s
mount outpoured,
there where the
blood of the
Lamb was spilt.
Refrain
Grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that will
pardon and
cleanse within;
grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that is
greater than
all our sin!
Verse 2
Sin and despair, like the
sea waves cold,
threaten the soul
with infinite loss;
grace that is greater,
yes, grace untold,
points to the refuge,
the mighty cross.
Refrain
Grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that will
pardon and
cleanse within;
grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that is
greater than
all our sin!
Verse 3
Dark is the stain
that we cannot hide.
What can avail
to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing
a crimson tide,
brighter than snow
you may be today.
Refrain
Grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that will
pardon and
cleanse within;
grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that is
greater than
all our sin!
Verse 4
Marvelous, infinite,
matchless grace,
freely bestowed
on all who believe!
You that are
longing to see his face,
will you this moment
his grace receive?
Refrain
Grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that will
pardon and
cleanse within;
grace, grace,
God’s grace,
grace that is
greater than
all our sin!
