Amazing grace! — how sweet the sound

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; John Rees, 1828-1900 Hymnal: New English Praise #626 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Proper 25 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 hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. 5 And, when this flesh and heart shall fail And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. 6 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 first begun.

I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heaven-descended dove, my heart an altar and your love the flame.

O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #494 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Year A Proper 25 Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. 2 Beneath the shadow of thy throne, thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting thou art God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, will bear us all away; we fade and vanish, as a dream dies at the op'ning day. 6 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee pure, warm, and changeless be, a living fire. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET

Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem

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.
