Hail! Grace Of God So Strong And Free

Don Fortner

(Tune: When I Can Read My Title Clear #497 CMD)

Hail! Grace of God so strong and free,

Eternal, sov’reign grace!

Grace chose me from eternity,

And fixed in heav’n my place!

Refrain:

Eternal, sov’reign grace!

Eternal, sov’reign grace!

Hail! Grace of God so strong and free,

Eternal, sov’reign grace!

Grace found in Christ a Substitute

To bear the wrath of God,

Who put away my sin and guilt

By His own precious blood.

Though I was born a child of wrath,

Brought forth in sin and death,

And chose the path of wickedness,

Grace sheltered me from wrath.

And in the time of love grace came

Eternal life to give,

Spread o’er my soul Christ’s righteousness

And said to me, “Now live!”

Grace has these many years kept me.

God’s grace can never fail!

This song for all eternity

I’ll sing within the veil -
