Oh, wondrous grace, that makes more dark my sin,
More bright and glorious, justice and its sword;
That does the sinner's heart and conscience win,
While God is justified and sin abhorred!
Lowly I bow before its glorious throne,
And, while absolved by grace, myself most guilty own.
I fly not from that all-seeing eye
Which once I shunned, to hide myself in night;
The blood that purged my sin has brought me nigh
To dwell in God's own love, and walk in light:
The holy, holy, holy Lord I love,
Whose holy will I now delight to learn and prove.
Sin can't condemn, for grace has justified;
Sin shall not reign, for grace has set me free;
Sin I abhor, since Christ my Surety died,
His living grace now reigns, and succors me;
The grace that has the wondrous work begun,
Shall crown with glory when its mighty work is done.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
