Lo, from the shadowed law’s unyielding throne,
Where mortal striving falters, dust to dust,
A brighter righteousness is now made known—
Not forged in works, but wrought in endless trust.

Through faith in Christ, the faithful Son who died,
God’s very justice flows, a boundless stream;
To every soul that turns, whate’er betide,
It comes as gift—no barrier, no deem.

No Jew nor Greek, no bond nor free, no high,
No low-born wretch excluded from the call;
All have transgressed, yet all may lift the eye
To Him who justifies the great and small.

O sweetness infinite! That grace so free
Should robe the sinner in unspotted light,
And bid the blind behold what none could see—
The Lamb’s pure merit shining through the night.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saves,
Redeems the lost, and crowns the contrite heart;
In Christ alone the soul no longer craves,
But rests secure, where righteousness imparts.

Then sing, my soul, of mercy undeserved,
Of faith that tastes the honey of His love;
For God is just, yet justifier preserved—
Through Jesus’ blood, our pardon from above.

What truth more sweet could heaven itself afford?
Righteousness by faith—for all who come to Him.
Believer, taste and see your sovereign Lord:
In grace begun, in glory perfected. Amen.
