Original text and translations

English text

Free grace! Melodious sound!
How it delights my ear!
It cheers my soul, revives my hope,
And drowns my ev‘ry fear;
And drowns my ev‘ry fear.

Through grace I conquer hell,
And break infernal chains;
Through grace my soul aspires to heav’n,
Where the Redeemer reigns;
Where the Redeemer reigns.

From His abounding grace
I daily draw supplies;
Grace is the neverceasing spring
Of all my swelling joys;
Of all my swelling joys.

And when we meet our Lord,
In yon celestrial throng,
Grace shall inspire our souls to sing,
And grace be all our song;
And grace be all our song.
