About this Hymn
Where would we be without grace? When it seems as though our failures outweigh our faithfulness, we have this good news: "Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (Rom. 5:20); this grace is "lavished upon us" (Eph. 1:8). Through the blood of Christ we are washed clean (Rev. 7:14). What a generous gift!
Lyrics
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.
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
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 3
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide— what can avail to wash it away? Look! there is flowing a crimson tide; whiter than snow you may be today.
Verse 4
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, freely bestowed on all who believe; you who are longing to see his face, will you this moment his grace receive?
