To God alone be glory! Amen.

C                  F              D                     G
The Word of God is truth revealed for man to know God’s law;
    Em            F          C     G         C
The standard of reality, the Bible guides in all.
      G           E               Am    D      G
There is no other book divine, no other sacred tome,
    C                 F                C      G      C
The truth of God lies nowhere else but in His Word alone.

Salvation is a gift of God, so may no human boast:
   Em               F                     C          G    C
By grace alone have saints been saved and blessed to uttermost!
     G                E               Am       D     G
No, nothing else can save my soul, my sin that can atone,
    C             F                 C        G      C
The sinner, now redeemed by God, is saved by grace alone.


[Verse 3]
C                    F            D                  G
The works of nat’ral man cannot appease the wrath of God,
        Em                  F                C         G        C
Through Christian faith the Savior saves and stays the Father’s rod.
    G                E                   Am     D      G
For God could not my sin forgive through merits of my own,
    C                 F           C           G      C
The guilty wretch is justified by God through faith alone.

C                     F                 D                  G
When first the sin of man appeared, the Lord withdrew His hand;
     Em              F               C          G      C
Thus Christ became a man and died to bridge the awful span;
      G            E          Am      D         G
No other One could mediate between me and God’s throne,
    C               F                   C       G      C
The wayward son, restored to God, finds hope in Christ alone.


[Verse 5]
C                    F                 D           G
O praise the God who saves the weak, O glorify His name,
    Em           F                  C        G         C
Let all creation with one voice His wondrous deeds proclaim!
      G               E                    Am     D         G
Who else deserves the laud, the praise? It is not flesh and bone.
    C                 F          C         G      C
May all of life e’er glorify our King, our God, alone!
