Beautiful Grace

Grace, God’s pleasure, is His treasure, in bold measure beautiful grace. Christ bore the dross of worldly loss upon His cross. He took our place. Accused of sham the great I Am our paschal Lamb in love’s embrace. When people grope He is our hope, the means to cope, His body raised. a rhupunt written 5 Dec 2014 A rhupunt (RHEE– PINT) is a Welch form consisting of three, four or more lines of four syllables with a rhyming scheme. It will be seen that the last lines of each stanza rhyme and the other lines rhyme with each other within the stanza. For example, in a three-line stanza the pattern would be a, a, B. / c, c, B. / d, d, B. Four-line stanzas would rhyme a, a, a, B. / c, c, c, B. / d, d, d, B. and so on. . .
