Use the Grace of God

Representative Text

1 When it seems your trials are so hard to bear,
All alone you walk along with none to care;
Trust the merits of the grace of God each day,
God will bear your heavy burdens all away.

Refrain:
Use the grace of God, there is a rich supply,
God has grace unmeasured in His house on high,
Know that He has proven by His word and deed,
He will give sufficient grace for ev’ry need.

2 Do not trust to self when evil would assail,
Trust the grace of God which nevermore shall fail;
All sufficient it shall be in ev’ry test,
Listen to His voice and He will do the rest. [Refrain]

3 “More abundant” grace He gives to those in need,
You will find that He will be a Friend indeed;
All who seek His grace shall never be denied,
Full and free will be the grace that is supplied. [Refrain]

4 Use the grace of God and you shall victor be,
Trust its merits and He’ll bless you wondrously;
Cast yourself upon the ocean of His love,
Then the grace of God will flow from heav’n above. [Refrain]
