Lyrics
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
The Word of God is truth revealed for man to know God's law;
The standard of reality, the Bible guides in all.
There is no other book divine, no other sacred tome,
The truth of God lies nowhere else but in His Word alone.
Salvation is a gift of God, so may no human boast:
By grace alone have saints been saved and blessed to uttermost!
No, nothing else can save my soul, my sin that can atone,
The sinner, now redeemed by God, is saved by grace alone.
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
The works of nat'ral man cannot appease the wrath of God,
Through Christian faith the Savior saves and stays the Father's rod.
For God could not my sin forgive through merits of my own,
The guilty wretch is justified by God through faith alone.
When first the sin of man appeared, the Lord withdrew His hand;
Thus Christ became a man and died to bridge the awful span;
No other One could mediate between me and God's throne,
The wayward son, restored to God, finds hope in Christ alone.
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
O praise the God who saves the weak, O glorify His name,
Let all creation with one voice His wondrous deeds proclaim!
Who else deserves the laud, the praise? It is not flesh and bone.
May all of life e'er glorify our King, our God, alone!
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
By grace alone I'm saved from my sin.
To God alone be glory! Amen.
