10. Grace Is the Sweetest Sound | S.M. |
| by T. Kelly, 1802 |

|
| 1 | Grace is the sweetest sound | Romans 2:15 |
| That ever reached our ears, |
| When conscience charged and justice frowned, |
| 'Twas grace removed our fears. |
|
| 2 | 'Tis freedom to the slave, | Romans 6:16-18; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Romans 8:21; 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 |
| 'Tis light and liberty; |
| It takes its terror from the grave, |
| From death its victory. |
|
| 3 | Grace is a mine of wealth | 2 Corinthians 8:9; Romans 3:24; Romans 8:32; Psalm 42:11 |
| Laid open to the poor; |
| Grace is the sovereign spring of health; |
| 'Tis life forevermore. |
|
| 4 | Of grace then let us sing! | John 1:17; 1 Peter 5:10; Colossians 3:4; 2 Timothy 2:12 |
| (A joyful, wondrous theme!) |
| Whom grace has brought, shall glory bring, |
| And we shall reign with Him. |
|
| 5 | Then shall we see His face | Revelation 22:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; Revelation 1:5 |
| With all the saints above, |
| And sing forever of His grace, |
| Forever of His love. |
