A Message Sweet Is Borne to Me

A mes­sage sweet is borne to me

On wings of joy di­vine;

A won­drous mes­sage

glad and free

That thrills this heart of mine;

I’m saved by grace

by grace alone

Through Christ

whose love I claim

No oth­er could for sin atone

Hosanna to His name!

O glo­ri­ous song that all day long

With tune­ful note is ring­ing

I’m saved by grace

am­az­ing grace

And that is why I’m sing­ing!

I hear the mes­sage that I love

When morn­ing dawns anew;

I read it in the sun ab­ove

That shines across the blue;

I hear it in the twi­light still

And at the sun­set hour—

I’m saved by grace! what words can thrill

With such a ma­gic pow­er?

Oh

won­drous grace for all man­kind

That spreads from sea to sea!

It heals the sick and leads the blind

And sets the pri­son­er free;

The soul that seeks it can­not fail

To see the Sav­ior’s face

And Sa­tan’s power can­not pre­vail

If we are saved by grace.
