Ninety-Third Psalm 31t
Tune: Lucius Chapin, 1812
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: Philip Doddridge, 1755
Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)
Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Grace first contrived the way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
Grace taught my wand’ring feet
To tread the heav’nly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.
Grace all the work shall crown,
Thru everlasting days;
It lays in heav’n the topmost stone,
And well deserves our praise.
