Sov’reign grace o’er sin abounding

Composer: William Batchelder Bradbury

Sov’reign grace o’er sin abounding

Ransomed souls

the tidings swell;

’Tis a deep that knows no sounding

Who its breadth or length can tell?

On its glories

on its glories

Let my soul forever dwell!

On its glories

on its glories

Let my soul forever dwell!

What from Christ the soul can sever

Bound by everlasting bands?

Once in Him

in Him forever

Thus th’ eternal cov’nant stands.

None shall pluck thee

none shall pluck thee

From the Savior’s mighty hands!

None shall pluck thee

none shall pluck thee

From the Savior’s mighty hands!

Heirs of God

joint-heirs with Jesus

Long ere time its race begun;

To His name eternal praises

O what wonders love has done!

One with Jesus

one with Jesus

By eternal union one.

One with Jesus

one with Jesus

By eternal union one.

On such love

my soul

still ponder

Love

so great

so rich

so free;

Say

while lost in holy wonder

Why

O Lord

such love to me?

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Grace shall reign eternally!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Grace shall reign eternally!
