The Ground of Grace

Day by day, step by step

All the way we are kept

As we follow to the end

A holy mountain we ascend

Take us to that sacred place

Where we enjoy your embrace

Where we shall see you face to face

We are going to the ground of grace.

Year by year we journey on

This path where saints of old have gone

Onward to the mark we press

Till we find our place of rest

Where our possessions we possess

When we find our place of Rest.

In this promised land we will understand

How our loss is gain, Christ will make it plain.

As we love and move, He'll delight to prove

That all things consist in His life and gift

Take us to that sacred place

Where we enjoy your embrace

Where we shall see you face to face

We are going to the ground of grace.
