I think it’s stunningly beautiful; and frankly, in most of the wards I’ve attended we probably haven’t talked about grace enough. Nor do I see the hymn’s lyrics as foreclosing the importance of one’s working out one’s own salvation and living a Christlike life.

That said: The hymn is incomplete and therefore, at least potentially misleading.
