Grace Greater than Our Sin (Marvelous Grace of our Loving Lord)

Hymn lyrics by Julia H. Johnston,
Music by Daniel B. Towner

Verse 1

• Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
• Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
• Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured,
• There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Chorus

• Grace, grace, God’s grace,
• Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
• Grace, grace, God’s grace,
• Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Verse 2

• Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
• Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
• Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
• Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.

Chorus

Verse 3

• Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
• What can avail to wash it away?
• Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
• Brighter than snow you may be today.

Chorus

Verse 4

• Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
• Freely bestowed on all who believe!
• You that are longing to see His face,
• Will you this moment His grace receive?

Chorus
