I Sing Thy Wondrous Grace

I was reading through the book Knowing God by J.I. Packer, and he quoted an Isaac Watts hymn.  The words were wonderful, and so I set forth to find the hymn so we could sing it in church (first service).  I quickly discovered no music existed.  I found the original Isaac Watts hymn along with another Watts text that I thought would work well as a refrain.  I reworked the texts to be a bit more friendly and then sat down and wrote out a melody and parts to fit the hymn.  I Sing Thy Wondrous Grace was the result.

I Sing Thy Wondrous Grace

Verse 1

There is a voice of princely grace,

Sounds from God's holy Word.

All lost and captive sinners come

And trust upon the Lord

Refrain

I sing Thy wondrous grace.

I bless my Savior's name

He bought salvation for the poor

And bore the sinner's shame

Verse 2

My soul obeys the sov'reign call

And runs to this relief

I would believe thy promise Lord

Oh help my unbelief

Verse 3

To the blessed fountain of Your blood,

Incarnate God I fly

To wash my soul from scarlet stains

And sins of deepest dye

Verse 4

A guilty, weak, and helpless man

Into Thy hands I fall

Thou art the Lord, my righteousness

My Savior and my all!
