Hymn 479
Wonderful Grace Of Jesus
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it?
Where shall His praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to save the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power
Making him God's dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Higher than the mountain,
Sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me,
Wonderful the matchless grace the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea; Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me, Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
Praise His name!
