By God alone I’m saved from my sin.
   Am    G      F      G C
To God alone be glory! Amen.


[Verse 1]
C                  F              
The Word of God is truth revealed 
D                     G
for man to know God’s law;
    Em            F          C    
The standard of reality, the Bible
 G         C
 guides in all.
      G           E               
There is no other book divine, no 
Am    D      G
other sacred tome,
    C                 F           
The truth of God lies nowhere else
     C      G      C
 but in His Word alone.


[Verse 2]
C              F               D
Salvation is a gift of God, so 
            G
may no human boast:
Continues after the ad
   Em               F         
By grace alone have saints been 
            C          G    C
saved and blessed to uttermost!
     G                E           
No, nothing else can save my soul,
    Am       D     G
 my sin that can atone,
    C             F               
The sinner, now redeemed by God, 
  C        G      C
is saved by grace alone.


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


[Verse 4]
C                     F          
When first the sin of man 
       D                  G
appeared, the Lord withdrew His 
hand;
     Em              F            
Thus Christ became a man and died 
   C          G      C
to bridge the awful span;
      G            E          Am 
No other One could mediate 
     D         G
between me and God’s throne,
    C               F             
The wayward son, restored to God, 
      C       G      C
finds hope in Christ alone.


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