GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!
Unto the Lord my God I trace,
That I am saved by sovereign grace;
‘Tis with a sense of sin I see,
Naught else but grace could set me free.
‘Twas grace which e’er the world was made,
Ordained my debt of sin be paid;
What lovingkindness then was shown,
God chose me out to be His own.
Behold amazing, wondrous grace,
Christ Jesus came and took my place;
With Him the Father was well-pleased,
His bloody death God’s wrath appeased.
Grace reigns through righteousness alone,
For Jesus suffered grief unknown;
The law was fully satisfied,
When for our sins He bled and died.
Ascended high upon His throne,
Christ reigns in glory all His own;
By His resistless quick’ning grace,
By faith I now the Son embrace.
So this my song of songs shall be,
I’m saved by grace so rich and free;
Soon I shall see my Savior’s face,
And praise Him for His sovereign grace.
