Hymn of the Week: Wonderful Grace of Jesus

God's grace is wonderful! Meditate on that today. Without it we have no salvation, no hope.

This is one of those classic hymns with a wonderful, memorable tune....but don't let the tune drown out the wonderful words. How shall my tongue describe it? Where shall its praise begin? I have been pardoned! I have been saved to the uttermost! Let us magnify the precious name of Jesus!

The words and music were both written in the 20th century by Haldor Lillenas.

Wonderful Grace of Jesus

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Refrain

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost,
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Refrain

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power,
Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
