Hymns about Grace

Grace is the unmerited favour of God toward sinners, the freeness of His love in Christ Jesus. By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Grace chose, called, justified, and will glorify the people of God; it also teaches them to deny ungodliness and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. The throne of grace is open to needy believers, and the God of all grace is able to make all grace abound. Apart from grace there is no gospel; by grace alone the church lives, serves, and hopes.

Hymns of grace celebrate the wonder that salvation is not wages earned but mercy received. They give language to amazement, humility, and enduring gratitude. Whether focusing upon converting grace, sustaining grace, or the grace that will be brought at the revelation of Jesus Christ, such songs keep the church from boasting and from despair. They remind worshippers that every spiritual blessing flows from the kindness of God in Christ, and that grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life.

These hymns fit evangelistic preaching, communion, baptism, and ordinary worship that needs to recover the freeness of the gospel. In personal devotion they silence self-righteousness and comfort the conscience that feels its unworthiness.
