Times of grace have come upon us

1.
Times of grace have come upon us;
Now we’re free from Satan’s bondage.
What a privilege to live in these great days!
We, His sheep, who once were scattered,
By the love of Christ are gathered,
And we now can see the glory of His ways.
Chorus:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
O what grace it is to live now in these wonderful new days!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
These are days of triumph; let us sing His praise.
2.
To the weak He gives great power;
None need fail in trial’s hour;
He just longs to give us strength and pow’r within.
Many who were once defeated
Now have strength from God that’s needed,
For His love has broken all the bands of sin.
3.
Of good gifts He is the giver,
Thus to better serve each other
And be bound together by the cords of love.
Wisdom, love, and zeal and fire
Shatter Satan’s pow’r asunder;
We’re united by the Spirit from above.
4.
Hallelujah! Times of blessing
We will certainly be meeting;
Of His glory we yet more and more shall see.
Every heart in God abiding
Knows that mighty times are coming;
Even greater signs and wonders there shall be!
