Grace! 'Tis a Charming Sound Phillip Doddridge (1702-1751)

ST. MICHAEL (S.M.) Genevan Psalter 1543

Grace! 'tis a charm-ing sound,
   Har-mon-ious to my ear;
Heaven with the ech-o shall re-sound,
   And all the earth shall hear.

Grace first con-trived a way
   To save re-bel-lious man,
And all the steps that grace dis-play
   Which drew the won-drous plan.

Grace taught my wan-dering feet
   To tread the heaven-ly road
And new sup-plies each hour I meet
   While press-ing on to God.

Grace all the work shall crown
   Through ev-er-last-ing days;
It lays in heaven the top-most stone,
   And well de-serves the praise.
