'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Yes, when this heart and flesh fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.
