“By Grace Alone” – Psalm 130
 By Martin Luther (1483-1546) / David L. Ward

Out of the depths I cry to You,
 Lord, hear my voice of pleading; Bend down Your
gracious ear, I pray, Your humble servant heeding. If You remember each misdeed,
And of each thought and word take heed, Who can remain before You? Only by grace,
by grace alone.

Your pardon is a gift of love,
 Your grace alone must save us, Our works will not
remove our guilt, The strictest life would fail us. Let none in deeds or merits 
boast, But let us own the Holy Ghost for He alone can change us: Only by grace, 
by grace alone.

Though great our sins and sore our woes
 His grace much more aboundeth; His helping
love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our kind and faithful Shepherd
He, Who will set all His people free From all their sin and sorrow: Only by grace,
by grace alone.
