| 1 | Grace in its highest definition is |
| | God in the Son to be enjoyed by us; |
| | It is not only something done or giv’n, |
| | But God Himself, our portion glorious. |
| 2 | God is incarnate in the flesh that we |
| | Him may receive, experience ourself; |
| | This is the grace which we receive of God, |
| | Which comes thru Christ and which is Christ Himself. |
| 3 | Paul the Apostle counted all as dung, |
| | ’Twas only God in Christ he counted grace; |
| | ’Tis by this grace-the Lord experienced- |
| | That he surpassed the others in the race. |
| 4 | It is this grace-Christ as our inward strength- |
| | Which with His all-sufficiency doth fill; |
| | It is this grace which in our spirit is, |
| | There energizing, working out God’s will. |
| 5 | This grace, which is the living Christ Himself, |
| | Is what we need and must experience; |
| | Lord, may we know this grace and by it live, |
| | Thyself increasingly as grace to sense. |
