William J. Kirkpatrick
(1838-1921)
From heav’n to earth my Savior came
To bear for me sin’s curse and shame,
That I through Him may pardon have,
And feel and know His power to save.
Chorus:
The grace of God, so rich and free!
The grace of God, it found out me!
The grace of God my song shall be!
The grace, the grace of God.
His wondrous love has won my heart,
And bidden sin and fear depart;
My inward foes are all subdued,
I’ve proved there's cleansing in the blood.
My doubts and fears to Him I give,
From anxious cares set free, I live;
The burden of my heart is gone,
And now I live for God alone.
