Happiness Through Grace

Joy everlasting!  Blessings manifested
The crowning glory of why I visited
Heart overflowing with amazing grace
From the Father, sustainer of the human race

He gives the word, go reach my son
Out of this place my will be done
Spared his life, from sins decay
Enshrine with your glory, O Lord I pray

Emissaries of the Lord, took up the strain
Words and deeds will not be in vain
Heart, body and soul, in preparation
In readiness for the great convocation

Put an hedge around your son dear Lord
Your blessings in copious showers afford
Satan’s charms and wiles confound
The Holy Spirit’s presence there to abound

Blessed Lord, for this opportunity, I give you praise
Thanks and blessings, continually to you I’ll raise
Overshadowed by grace redeeming love
All praises to God who reigns from above
