CAPO I

A E/G#
Now may the Lord reveal his face,
A/F#
And teach our stammering tongues
A E/G#
To make his sovereign, reigning grace
A/F#
The subject of our songs.

refrain:

D A/C#
No sweeter subject can invite
Bm
A sinner's heart to sing,
D A/C#
Or more display the glorious right
E
Of our exalted King.

Grace reigns to pardon crimson sins,

To melt the hardest hearts;
And from the work it once begins
It never once departs.

The world and Satan strive in vain

Against the chosen few;
Secured by grace's conquering reign,
They all shall conquer too.

Twas grace that called our souls at first;

By grace thus far we've come;
And grace will help us through the worst,
And lead us safely home.
