Greater Grace

With sovereign power and righteous love

God reveals His glory in Christ’s face

And makes the babes in knowledge learn

The heights, and breadths, and lengths of grace.

The mysteries of redeeming love

Are hidden from the wise,

While pride and carnal reas’nings join

To dim and blind their eyes.

Thus does the Lord of heav'n and earth

His great decrees fulfil,

And orders all his works of grace

By his own sovereign will.

God gives a greater grace.

God gives a greater grace.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

God opposes the proud and makes the strong man stumble

God gives a greater grace.

For none can know the Father right

But those who learn it from the Son;

Nor can the Son be understood

Unless the Father makes him known.

Then let our souls adore our God,

Who deals his graces as he please;

Nor gives to mortals an account

Or of his actions or decrees.

God gives a greater grace.

God gives a greater grace.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

God opposes the proud and makes the strong man stumble

God gives a greater grace.
