Wonderful Grace of Jesus

1 Wonderful grace of Jesus,  
Greater than all my sin,  
How shall my tongue describe it?  
Where shall its praise begin?  
Taking away my burden,  
Setting my spirit free;  
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.  

Refrain:  
Wonderful the matchless grace,  
the matchless grace of Jesus,  
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea.  
Higher than the mountain; sparkling like a fountain;  
All-sufficient grace for me, for even me.  
Broader than the scope of my transgressions;  
Greater far than all my sin and shame.  
O magnify the precious name of Jesus;  
Praise His name!  

2 Wonderful grace of Jesus,  
Reaching to all the lost.  
By it I have been pardoned,  
Saved to the uttermost.  
Chains have been torn asunder,  
Giving me liberty;  
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]  

3 Wonderful grace of Jesus,  
Reaching the most defiled.  
By its transforming power  
Making him God’s dear child.  
Purchasing peace and heaven  
For all eternity;  
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]
