Verse 1
Out of the depths I cry to You
Lord hear my voice of pleading
Bend down Your gracious ear I pray
Your humble servant heeding
If You remember each misdeed
And of each thought and word take heed
Who can remain before You
Only by grace by grace alone
Verse 2
Your pardon is a gift of love
Your grace alone must save us
Our works will not remove our guilt
The strictest life would fail us
Let none in deeds or merits boast
But let us own the Holy Ghost
For He alone can change us
Only by grace by grace alone
Verse 3
Though great our sins
And sore our woes
His grace much more aboundeth
His helping love no limit knows
Our utmost need it soundeth
Our kind and faithful Shepherd He
Who will set all His people free
From all their sin and sorrow
Only by grace by grace alone
