Celebrating Grace

"Great God of wonders! all thy ways
     Display the attributes divine;
But countless acts of pardoning grace
     Beyond thine other wonders shine:
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

In wonder lost, with trembling joy,
     We take the pardon of our God;
Pardon for crimes of deepest dye,
     A pardon bought with Jesus'  blood:
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

O may this strange, this matchless grace,
     This God-like miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
     As now it fills the choirs above!
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?"

-Samuel Davies, a former president of Princeton, as quoted by J.I.Packer in Knowing God
