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 1,424 hymnals Topics: Advent 4 Year B; Advent 3 Year C 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 first 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

Amidst a world of hopes and fears
Author: Henry Moore Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Advent, Fourth Sunday Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears,
A world of cares, and toils, and tears,
Where foes alarm, and dangers threat,
And pleasures kill, and glories cheat:
2 Send down, O Lord! a heavenly ray,
To guide me in the doubtful way;
And o'er me hold Thy Shield of power,
To guard me in the dangerous hour.
3 Teach me the flattering paths to shun,
In which the thoughtless many run,
Who for a shade the substance miss,
And grasp their ruin in their bliss.
4 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride,
Allure my wandering soul aside;
But through this maze of mortal ill,
Safe lead me to Thy heavenly hill.
5 There glories shine, and pleasures roll,
That charm, delight, transport the soul;
And every panting wish shall be
Possest of boundless bliss in Thee. Used With Tune: STONEFIELD
Amidst a world of hopes and fears
