(Tune—Grace.)
“GRACE and glory,” what a story,
For a bankrupt sinner’s ear!
Doubt and sadness changed to gladness,
Peace, instead of anxious fear.
“Grace and glory,”
Heav’n-sent story;
Good news bringing,
World-wide ringing,
Heav’nly joys to man brought near.
Jesus ONCE for sin did suffer,
THEN God’s claims He fully met,
Took the culprit’s place and portion,
Paid in BLOOD the mighty debt.
Grace declaring,
Judgment bearing,
Shame enduring,
Heav’n securing,
Now at God’s right hand He’s set.
Art thou filled with dark forebodings?
Dost thou dread thy dying day?
Does the thought of coming judgment
Fill thy soul with blank dismay?
Hear the story,
From the glory,
God’s love telling,
Fears dispelling,
JESUS SAVES AND SAVES TODAY!
‘Twas for ruin’d, helpless sinners,
Wretched, hopeless, sunk in shame,
Full of love and deep compassion,
JESUS from the glory came!
Oh, then trust Him,
Simply trust Him;
Guilt confessing,
Take the blessing,
Life, and peace, and joy obtain.
