     1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? 8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.(KJV)

1. Grace! ‘Tis a charming sound, 
Harmonious to the ear; 
Heaven with the echo shall resound, 
And all the earth shall hear. 

2. Grace first contrived the way 
To save rebellious man, 
And all the steps that grace display 
Which drew the wondrous plan. 

3. Grace first inscribed my name 
In God’s eternal book; 
‘Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, 
Who all my sorrows took. 

4. Grace led my wandering feet 
To tread the heavenly road; 
And new supplies each hour I meet 
While pressing on to God. 

5. Grace taught my soul to pray 
And made mine eyes o’erflow; 
‘Twas grace that kept me to this day 
And will not let me go. 

6. Grace all the work shall crown 
Through everlasting days; 
It lays in heaven the topmost stone 
And well deserves the praise.
