1.
Grace!
'tis
a
charm-ing
sound,
Har-mo-nious
to
the
ear;
Heav'n
with
the
ech
-
o
shall
re
-
sound,
And
all
the
earth
shall
hear.
2.
Grace
first
con-trived
the
way
To
save
re - bel - lious
man;
And
all
the
steps
that
grace
dis
-
play,
Which
drew
the
won-drous
plan.
3. Grace
taught
my
wan-d'ring
feet
To
tread
the
heav'n-ly
road;
And
new
sup
-
plies
each
hour
meet,
While
press-ing
on
to
God.
4.
Grace
all
the
work
shall
crown
Through
ev-er-last
-
ing
days;
It
lays
in
heav'n
the
top
-
most
stone,
And
well
de
-
serves
our
praise.
This
hymn
is
on
"Salvation
by
Grace,"
from
the
author's
hymns,
1755.
The
original
name
of
this
tune
was
"
Kentucky."
Philip
Doddridge,
D.
D.,
the
author
of
the
hymn,
was
born
in
London,
1702,
over
two
hundred
years
ago.
He
was
a
scholar
of
high
attainments;
was
ordained
to
the
Nonconformist
ministry;
was
an
English
Congregationalist,
and
for
many
years
pastor
of
one
of
these
churches,
from
1829
to
the
time
of
his
death,
1852.
He
was
a
great
pulpit
orator
and
theologian.
He
composed
many
standard
hymns
and
high-class
sacred
music.
See
sketch
of
Jeremiah
Ingalls
under
the
tune
"
Northfield."
He
is
the
author
of
some
of
the
best
music
of
those
who
composed
in
his
day,
and
many
of
his
tunes
are
still
popular
with
the
church
people,
especially
in
the
United
States,
and
many
of
his
best
productions
are
in
the
leading
tune
and
hymn
books
of
to-day.
This
tune
appears
in
Jeremiah
Ingall's
"
Song
Books,"
beginning
1805
to
1820;
also
in
the
"
Southern
Harmony,"
by
Walker,
1835
and
1849,
by
same
author;
in
the
"
Christian
Harmony,"
1866
and
1901.

"
Missouri
Harmony,"

31,

1.
Come
we
who
love
the
Lord,
And
let
our
joys
be
known:
Join
in
a
song
with
sweet
ac
-
cord
And
thus
sur-round
the
throne.
2. Let
those
re
-
fuse
to
sing
who
nev
-
er
knew
our
God;
But
serv-ants
of
the
heav'n-ly
King
May
speak
their
joys
a
-
broad.
3.
The
God
that
rules
on
high,
That
all
the
earth
sur
-
veys,
That
rides
up
-
on
the
storm-y
sky,
And
calms
the
roar
-
ing
sea.
This
tune
appears
in
"Southern
Harmony,"
1835,
by
William
Walker,
and
many
other
sacred
tune
books
prior
to
that
time.
The
original
name
was
"Heavenly
Joys
on
Earth,"
appearing
in
Watts'
"
Hymns
of
Spiritual
Songs."
The
author
of
the
tune
"
Webster
"
is
unknown,
it
having
appeared
in
a
large
number
of
song
books
for
the
last
sixty
years
without
being
credited
to
any
one.
There
are
certain
claims,
however,
that
it
may
have
been
written
by
Corelli.
We
think
this
is
a
mistake.
The
tune
may
have
been
taken
from
a
melody
by
Handel,
but
there
is
no
certainty
about
it.
