Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; Jacques de Réland; Josephine S. (Konwenne) Day; Wing-Hee Heyward Wong; Chirstopher Cheung; Megumi Hara; Haruo Harold Aihara Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,492 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 Year A; Christmas 2 Year B 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 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
this word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
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. Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE (NEW BRITAIN) Text Sources: V. 5 anon. from A Collection of Sacred Ballads, 1790; Cree, Ojibway, and Inuktitut translators unknown; Ethnic Ministries Council, The United Church of Canada also helped with Japanese transliteration, 1995

scatters o'er the smiling land,

from its rich o'erflowing stores;

grateful vows and solemn praise. Used With Tune: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS

in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

shall surely follow me:
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling place shall be. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: CRIMOND Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

I Heard the Voice of Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,237 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 Year A; Christmas 2 Year B First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."

weary and worn and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise;
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem
Author: Job Hupton, 1762-1849; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas 2 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem,
cleave the skies with shouts of praise;
sing to him who found the ransom,
Ancient of eternal days,
God of God, the Word incarnate,
whom the heav'n of heav'n obeys.
2 Ere he raised the lofty mountains,
formed the seas, or built the sky,
love eternal, free and boundless,
moved the Lord of life to die,
fore-ordained the Prince of princes
for the throne of Calvary.
3 There, for us and our redemption,
see him all his life-blood pour!
There he wins our full salvation,
dies that we may die no more;
then arising, lives for ever,
reigning where he was before.
4 High on yon celestial mountains
stands his sapphire throne, all bright,
midst unending alleluias
bursting from the saints in light;
Sion's people tell his praises,
victor after hard-won fight.
5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense,
sweep the string and pour the lay;
let the earth proclaim his wonders,
King of that celestial day;
he the Lamb once slain is worthy,
who was dead, and lives for ay.
6 Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
consubstantial, co-eternal,
while unending ages run. Scripture: Daniel 7:9 Used With Tune: NEANDER (UNSER HERRSCHER)
Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem

Bethl'hem, thou dost all excel:
out of thee the Lord from heaven
came to rule his Israel.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing
seen in fleshly form on earth.
3 Eastern sages at his cradle
make oblations rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion,
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
incense doth their God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5 Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped
at thy glad Epiphany,
unto thee with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be. Scripture: John 1:14 Used With Tune: STUTTGART

Give us the wings of faith
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 521 hymnals Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas 2 First Line: Give us the wings of faith to rise Lyrics: 1 Give us the wings of faith to rise
within the veil, and see
the saints above, how great their joys,
how bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourning here below,
their couch was wet with tears;
they wrestled hard, as we do now,
with sins and doubts and fears.
3 We ask them whence their vict'ry came:
they, with united breath,
ascribe the conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
his zeal inspired their breast,
and, foll'wing their incarnate God,
they reached the promised rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise
for his own pattern giv'en;
while the great cloud of witnesses
show the same path to heav'n. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 Used With Tune: SONG 67
Give us the wings of faith

those bright angelic bands,

ye oceans, clap your hands: [Refrain]

by all be he adored,
the infant born in Bethl'em,
the Saviour and the Lord: [Refrain] Scripture: John 1:14 Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

the glories of my God and king,
the triumphs of God's grace.

that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.

new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, you deaf, you voiceless ones,
your tongues again employ;
you blind, behold your Saviour comes,
and leap, you lame, for joy!
5 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name. Used With Tune: AZMON
