Grace is the deep sweet well of God's great love,
His sunshine, shed o'er 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 overnight
Enshroud earth's blots and blemishes from sight,

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

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

In grace He went for us to Calvary's cross,
Though rich, He stooped to poverty for us.

And with this grace God covers everyone
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 us to wear.

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