Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,414 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:8 First Line: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound (Daw k'ee da ha dawtsahy he tsow'haw) (Po ya fek cha he thlat ah tet) (Shilombish holitopa ma) (Ooh nay thla nah, hee oo way gee') (Nizhóníígo jooba' kiits' a') Lyrics: English:
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 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.

Ooh nay thla nah, hee oo way gee.’

E gah gwoo yah ho nah.

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 722 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:10-14 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take the harvest home;
From his field shall in that day
All offences purge away,
Giving angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In God's garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your final harvest home;
Gather all your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, for ever purified,
In your presence to abide:
Come, with all thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.

For the truths that still confound us,
Most of all, that love has found us,

Lord, Thou Lov'st the Cheerful Giver
Author: Robert Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou lov'st the cheerful giver,
who with open heart and hand
blesses freely, as a river
that refreshes all the land.
Grant us then the grace of giving
with a spirit large and free,
that our life and all our living,
we may consecrate to thee.
2 We are thine, thy mercy sought us,
found us in death's dreadful way,
to the fold in safety brought us,
never more from thee to stray.
Thine own life thou freely gavest
as an off'ring on the cross
for each sinner whom thou savest
from eternal shame and loss.
3 Blest by thee with gifts and graces,
may we heed thy church's call;
gladly in all times and places
give to thee who givest all.
Thou hast bought us, and no longer
can we claim to be our own;
ever free and ever stronger,
we shall serve thee, Lord, alone.
4 Savior, thou hast freely given
all the blessings we enjoy,
earthly store and bread of heaven,
love and peace without alloy;
humbly now we bow before thee,
and our all to thee resign;
for the kingdom, pow'r, and glory,
are, O Lord, forever thine.

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:14-15 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
4 O generous love! that he who smote
in Man, for man, the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;
4 And in the garden secretly,
and on the Cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
5 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

What shall I do my God to love
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:15 Lyrics: 1 What shall I do my God to love,
my loving God to praise?
The length, and breadth, and height to prove,
and depth of sovereign grace?
2 Thy sovereign grace to all extends,
immense and unconfined;
from age to age it never ends,
it reaches all mankind.
3 Throughout the world its breadth is known,
wide as infinity;
so wide it never passed by one,
or it had passed by me.
4 My trespass was grown up to heaven;
but, far above the skies,
in Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see thy mercies rise.
5 The depth of all-redeeming love,
what angel tongue can tell?
O may I to the utmost prove
the gift unspeakable!
6 Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take
possession of your own;
my longing heart vouchsafe to make
thy everlasting throne. Used With Tune: OXFORD NEW
