Analysis of By Grace Are Ye Saved
Daniel Webster Moody 1884 (Pulaski County, Arkansas, ) – 1956 ( Altus, Jackson County, Oklahoma)
In grace the holy God
Did full salvation plan,
Electing in His sovereign grace
To save rebellious man.
By grace are ye saved thro’ faith,
Thro’ faith, thro’ faith,
Thro’ faith, and that not of yourselves;
Thro’ faith, and that not of yourselves;
Not of works, not of works,
Not of works, not of works,
Not of works, lest any man should boast;
It is the gift of God;
Not of works, lest any man should boast;
It is the gift of God, it is the gift of God,
It is the gift of God, it is the gift of God,
The gift of God.
This grace of God appears
In Jesus Christ His Son;
He, lifted on the cross of shame,
The grace of God makes known.
To all who do believe
In God, thro’ Christ revealed
By grace, they full salvation have,
And “Sons of God” are sealed.
