Graça de Deus, Infinito Amor

Representative Text

1. Graça de Deus, infinito amor!
Graça do Céu, dom divinal!
Por Sua morte em amarga dor,
Cristo me trouxe esse amor real.

Estribilho:
Graça, graça, fonte de paz que Jesus me deu;
Graça, graça, graça maior que o pecado meu.

2. Fardos me oprimem, de angústia e dor,
Quando me vêm ondas do mal;
Mas, pela graça do Salvador,
Tenho poder para ser leal. [Estribilho]

3. Quão insondável o amor de Deus!
Traz salvação ao pecador.
Por essa graça que vem dos Céus,
Sei que estarei com o meu Senhor. [Estribilho]
