Sunday Hymn: Grace! 'Tis a Charming Sound
Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 06:14AM GRACE! 'TIS A CHARMING SOUND
Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to mine ear;
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man,
And all the steps that grace display
Which drew the wondrous plan.
Grace taught my wand'ring feet
To tread the heav'nly road
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heav'n the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

"...And new supplies each hour I meet while pressing on to God." I'm so thankful for the everlasting supply of grace God gives to us!
Pleasing...delightful...attractive..."grace." We don't use the word "charming" as much any more, but it suits any meditation on the wonderful grace of God. Thaks for posting Philip Dodderidge's hymn. He was born 308 years ago today, which makes this an old hymn. But it's message is still needed.
One of those hymns that keep bringing tears to my eyes when i sing them.
