Grace in its highest definition is

Grace in its highest definition is

God in the Son to be enjoyed by us;

It is not only something done or giv’n

But God Himself

our portion glorious.

God is incarnate in the flesh that we

Him may receive

experience ourself;

This is the grace which we receive of God

Which comes thru Christ and which is Christ Himself.

Paul the Apostle counted all as dung

’Twas only God in Christ he counted grace;

’Tis by this grace—the Lord experienced—

That he surpassed the others in the race.

It is this grace—Christ as our inward strength—

Which with His all-sufficiency doth fill;

It is this grace which in our spirit is

There energizing

working out God’s will.

This grace

which is the living Christ Himself

Is what we need and must experience;

Lord

may we know this grace and by it live

Thyself increasingly as grace to sense.
