Whilst feet were prone to wandering In fields forbidden lingering With gentleness his rod and staff Corrected and made straight our path Heaven's shepherd lead us home 'Twas he alone that none may boast Salvation work we cannot own 'Twas grace alone that none may boast His grace alone that none may boast Whilst hands were set to aimless task On building what would never last Jesus Christ the stone rejected Turned our works to praise accepted His burden light, easy his yoke 'Twas he alone that none may boast Salvation's work we cannot own 'Twas grace alone that none may boast 'Twas grace alone that none may boast Whilst lips have words to sing and speak Our songs of praise will never cease A once rebellious fallen race Has come to know amazing grace Now we stand as his betrothed Firmly in our saviors' hold Salvations work is not our own God made it so, let it me known In Christ alone we make our boast 'Twas grace alone that none may boast Sweet grace alone that none may boast
