% This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely 
% distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual 
% songs, and prelude/postlude music.  This music is to be distributed 
% as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, 
% in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which
% can be freely modified by anyone.  The current format of choice is the 
% "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet.
% All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats.
% Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate 
% translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" 
% version 4.10 or later.  I am doing my best to create a final product
% that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for
% a printed church hymnal.
%
% The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (brian 
% dot j dot dumont at gmail dot com).  I have gone through serious efforts 
% to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database.
% If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible.
%
% This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to 
% the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of
% the various ABC and ABC Plus software.  Undoubtedly, I am also indebted 
% to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns.
%
% This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever.
%
% I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and
% I will take requests for hymns to add.  My decision of whether to 
% add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order):
% 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable
% 2) It must be a Christian piece
% 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly,
%    a MIDI file is usually a terrible source)
% 4) Whether I like the hymn :)
%
% If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please 
% send an email to me, I would love the help!  PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU 
% FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small.  I want to ensure that every 
% slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure 
% that there must be mistakes right now.

W:6.By grace! but think not, thou who livest
W:Securely on in godless ways,
W:That thou, though all are called, receivest
W:The promised rest that wakes our praise:
W:By grace none find in heaven a place
W:Who live in sin in hope of grace.
W:
W:7.By grace! They who have heard this sentence
W:Must bid hypocrisy farewell;
W:For only after deep repentance
W:The soul what grace imports can tell;
W:To sin while grace a trifle seems,
W:To faith it bright with glory beams.
W:
W:8.By grace the timid hearts that languish,
W:Find access to the Father's heart,
W:When conflicts fierce and bitter anguish
W:Bid all their joy and hopes depart.
W:Where, oftimes, should I strength obtain,
W:Bid grace my anchor not remain!
W:
W:9.By grace! on this in death I'll rest me,
W:Rejoicing e'en though feeling naught;
W:I know my sin it oft oppressed me
W:But Him, too, who my soul hath bought:
W:My heart exults grief flees apace
W:Because my soul is saved by grace.
W:
W:10.By grace! O sin and Satan hear it!
W:I bear my flag of faith in hand, 
W:And pass, in spite of doubts, nor fear it,
W:The Red Sea to the promised land;
W:I hold the word my Savior taught
W:As certain, whether felt or not.
