Note
One spelling does two jobs: the simple past (she graced the hall) and the participle that follows have or be. Every sense of the verb takes an object: adorning, honoring, bestowing heavenly grace, adding grace notes to a melody. That makes the passive come easily: a stage is graced by singers, a hymn tune graced with ornaments. Context, not form, tells which kind of gracing is meant.
