BY HIS GRACE

Tune: "Near the Cross"; 7.6.7.6.w/ref.; (William Doane, 1832-1915)
Gary Shepard

1. In the covenant of grace, / Time not yet beginning,
Mercy there included me / Long before my sinning.

Refrain:

By His grace, by His grace, / For His glory ever,
Jesus took me in His hand; / From Him none can sever.

2. On the cross of Calvary / Wrath on Him there falling,
Jesus my redemption bought / Long before my calling.

3. Then in time when I was come, / Guilty, lost, and dying,
Mercy laid me in the dust, / Set my heart to crying.

4. When the Spirit gave me life, / Then by faith believing,
With the gospel of His peace / All my fears relieving.

5. Now I rest in Christ alone, / Righteousness imputed
Makes for me a garment fine, / For the ages suited.
