Soft the voice of mercy sounded,
Sweet as music to the ear.
"Grace abounds where sin abounded";
This the word that soothed our fear.
Grace, the sweetest sound we know,
Grace to sinners here below.
Grace, we sing, God's grace through Jesus;
Grace, the spring of peace to man;
Grace, that from each sorrow frees us;
Grace, too high for thought to scan;
Grace, the theme of God's own love;
Grace, the theme, all themes above.
