To the Praise of His Glorious Grace

[Verse 1]
What astonishing mercy and power
In accord with His pleasure and will
He created each planet, each flower
Every galaxy, microbe, and hill

[Chorus]
He suspended the planet in space
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace

[Verse 2]
With despicable self-love and rage
We rebelled and fell under the curse
Yet God did not rip out the page
And destroy all who love the perverse

[Chorus]
No, He chose us to make a new race
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace

[Verse 3]
Providentially ruling all things
To conform to the end He designed
He mysteriously governs, and brings
His eternal wise plans into time

[Chorus]
He works out every step, every trace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace

[Verse 4]
Long before the creation began
He foreknew those He’d ransom in Christ
Long before time’s cold hour-glass ran
He ordained the supreme sacrifice

[Chorus]
In the cross He removed our disgrace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace

[Verse 5]
We were blessed in the heavenly realms
Long before being included in Christ
Since we heard the good news, overwhelmed
We reach forward to seize Paradise

[Chorus]
We shall see Him ourselves, face to face
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
