Amazing Grace
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,435 hymnals Topics: Freedom First Line: Amazing grace – how sweet the sound Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace – how sweet the sound –
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun. Scripture: Exodus 15:6 Used With Tune: NEW BRITAIN Text Sources: St. 5 A Collection of Sacred Ballads, 1790
Amazing Grace
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus,; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Freedom First Line: Come, you faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
Scripture: Exodus 13:3 Used With Tune: ST. KEVIN

Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.

Are more felt than up in heaven;
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment giv'n.

Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
We could take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

Praise His name!

Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power
Making him God's dear child.
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity--
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
