  1. 1Marvelous 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.Grace, grace, (Marvelous grace,)God’s grace, (infinite grace,)Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;Grace, grace, (Marvelous grace,)God’s grace, (infinite grace,)Grace that greater than all our sin.
  2. 2Dark 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.Grace, grace, (Marvelous grace,)God’s grace, (infinite grace,)Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;Grace, grace, (Marvelous grace,)God’s grace, (infinite grace,)Grace that greater than all our sin.
  3. 3Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,Freely bestowed on all who believe;You that are longing to see His face,Will you this moment His grace receive?Grace, grace, (Marvelous grace,)God’s grace, (infinite grace,)Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;Grace, grace, (Marvelous grace,)God’s grace, (infinite grace,)Grace that greater than all our sin.
