Grace is the deep sweet well of God's great love.
His sunshine shed on us from heaven above.

It is the attitude in which we stand
Toward Him, the shade of His protecting hand.

Just as the gentle snowflakes over-night
Enshroud earth's blots and blemishes from sight,

So doth He cover our unrighteousness
Forevermore, in His exceeding grace.

"He giveth grace, yea, more abundant grace,"
The same that shineth in the Saviour's face.

'Twas grace that led Him down to Calvary's cross,
Though rich, He stooped to poverty for us.

And with this grace God covers every one
Whose trust is in the Christ of God, His Son.

O child of God, this jewel, bright and fair,
By His own hand is given to us to wear.

Then let us "grow in grace," and knowledge of our Lord,
And glorify His name by feeding on His Word.
