Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
All sufficient grace!
Never powerless!
It is Christ who lives in me,
In His exhaustlessness.
Never powerless!

In His exhaustlessness.

’Twas grace that wrote my name
In life’s eternal book;
’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.

Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the pilgrim road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.

Grace taught my heart to pray,
And made my eyes o’erflow;
’Tis grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.

Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in love the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

My heart with strength divine;
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

Lord, thank you for all-sufficient grace which is just Your Spirit in my (our) spirit! Thank you for today's portion of light and salt. Your all-sufficient grace strengthens us, encourages us, emboldens us to be able to bear the bright light of Truth and also acquire the courage to be corrected and instructed in righteousness.
Here is an excerpt from the summer training on the believers (that's us! ): "To make a career of following the Lord, we must give all we have and all we can do to it; otherwise, we will be a failure, becoming the tasteless salt and being thrown out of the glorious realm into a sphere of shame. We should not be disappointed or discouraged but strengthened and enabled to live out the divine economy by the processed and consummated Triune God as the all-sufficient grace " (page 16, Message 3)

Grace taught my heart to pray,
And made my eyes o’erflow;
’Tis grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.
When I really see what Christ as Grace has done for me, It brings me to tears. Grace is not just for redemption but for our entire life. Christ comes to us continually in our weakness and failures to be our supply and comfort. How can we not love this one?

The Grace for
the Believers’ Living
We live by grace. The grace for the believers’ living is spoken of in Romans 1:7 and in the beginning of all of Paul’s other Epistles except Hebrews. In our Christian living, our daily life, we need the grace. Everyone has a problem with his temper. No one can overcome his temper except by grace. Who can be humble? We are always proud. We can be humble only by grace. The Lord said, “My grace is sufficient for you” (2 Cor. 12:9). “All sufficient grace! Never powerless! ” (Hymns, #312).

The grace of God is sufficient for all things through all ages. It's is never powerless. I can say: "If it had not been for His grace ..." At the throne of grace, there is always mercy, and there, we find grace to help at every time of need. Hebrew 4:16.
God bless the choir that sang this song. It is thrilling, and streams to my very soul.

Hidden in the far reaches of misty memory, "grace 'tis a charming sound, melodious to the ear", surfaced one day "out of the blue." I hadn't sung this hymn for many years. It occurred to me just when I needed it. Hymns, full of the Spirit of Truth, are charming indeed... and sweet.. and melodious... like a soothing balm, reassuring us of "all sufficient grace, never powerless... it is Christ who lives in [us], in His exhaustlessness."
