“Sovereign grace o'er sin abounding”

A hymn written by J. Kent
  1. Sovereign grace o'er sin abounding,
       Ransomed Souls the tidings swell;
    'Tis a deep that knows no sounding –
       Who its breadth or length can tell?
             On its glories
       Let my soul for ever dwell.
  1. What from Christ that soul shall sever,
       Bound by everlasting bands?
    Once in Him, in Him for ever;
       Thus th' eternal cov'nant stands:
             None shall pluck thee
       From the Strength of Israel's hands.
  1. Heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus,
       Long ere time its race begun;
    To His name eternal praises;
       Oh, what wonders He hath done!
             One with Jesus,
       By eternal union one.
  1. On such love, my soul, still ponder,
       Love so great, so rich and free;
    Say, while lost in holy wonder,
       Why, O Lord, such love to me?
             Hallelujah!
       Grace shall reign eternally
