By Grace I’ll Stand

Once I was far from Je­sus

A strang­er to His grace

But o’er the mount­ains bleak and cold

He sought my steps to trace;

One day

praise God

He found me

And brought me to His fold

And now I feel His won­drous grace

Can ne’er be ful­ly told.

Yes

by grace alone

God help­ing me

I’ll stand.

True and faith­ful till

I reach the glo­ry land

Just trust­ing Him each mo­ment

For His help di­vine

Confessing Je­sus

My bless­èd Sav­ior.

He’s filled my life with bless­ing

And changed my heart’s de­sire;

To wit­ness for Him day by day

My soul is all on fire;

Full well I know that dan­gers

Lie thick­ly round my way

But keep­ing sight of Je­sus Christ

I can­not go as­tray.

So more and more of Je­sus

I’m learn­ing ev­ery day;

With such a pre­cious friend and guide

I’ll fol­low all the way;

I can re­flect His im­age

And eve­ry­one around

My tes­ti­mo­ny clear shall know:

The Sav­ior I have found.
