Grace Greater Than Our Sin

Words: Julia H. Johnston · Music: Daniel B. Towner · 1910

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.

Chorus
Grace, grace, God's grace;
(Marvelous grace, infinite grace;)
grace that will pardon and cleanse within!
Grace, grace, God's grace;
(Marvelous grace, infinite grace;)
grace that is greater than all our sin!

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.

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?
