Canticum Gratiae

My God, O fountain of all truth,

Your Word alone is light to me;

I do not trust in all my works,

But in Christ’s strength—and faith in Him.

Refrain

By grace alone You have saved us,

By faith alone we stand made right;

Christ alone remains our sure hope—

To God be glory evermore.

II

You make my hardened heart anew,

You breathe on me the Holy Breath;

Not from us comes the choice of grace,

But from Your mercy, freely given.

Refrain

By grace alone You have saved us,

By faith alone we stand made right;

Christ alone remains our sure hope—

To God be glory evermore.

III

The Lamb of God for us has suffered,

Upon the cross He paid the price;

Your righteousness is freely given

To all who love and trust Your name.

Refrain

By grace alone You have saved us,

By faith alone we stand made right;

Christ alone remains our sure hope—

To God be glory evermore.

IV

Your Church, O Lord, You gather in,

One body under one true Lord;

We preach Your Gospel to the nations

Until the ending of all days.

Refrain

By grace alone You have saved us,

By faith alone we stand made right;

Christ alone remains our sure hope—

To God be glory evermore.
