Marvellous grace of our loving Lord,
grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary�??s mount outpoured,
there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.
[Refrain:]
Grace, grace, God�??s grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God�??s grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin!
Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
threaten the soul with infinite loss;
grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
points to the refuge, the mighty cross.
[Refrain]
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
brighter than snow you may be today.
[Refrain]
Marvellous, infinite, matchless grace,
freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see his face,
will you this moment his grace receive?
[Refrain]
