47. Grace Taught Our Wandering Feet

S.M.
by A.M. Toplady; v. 1 & 5, P. Doddridge
1
Grace taught our wandering feet
 
To tread the heavenly road;
 
And new supplies each hour we meet
 
While traveling home to God.
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” (Titus 2:11-12)
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” (James 4:6)
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8)
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
2
’Twas grace that wrote each name
 
In God’s eternal book;
 
’Twas grace that gave us to the Lamb,
 
Who all our burdens took.
3
Grace saved us from the foe,
 
Grace taught us how to pray;
 
And God will ne’er His grace forego,
 
Till we have won the day.
4
May grace, free grace, inspire
 
Our souls with strength divine;
 
May every thought to God aspire,
 
And grace in service shine.
5
Grace all the work shall crown
 
Through everlasting days;
 
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
 
And well deserves the praise.
