Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton; William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,435 hymnals Scripture: John 9:25 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 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.

He Healed the Darkness of My Mind
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 9 Lyrics: 1 He healed the darkness of my mind
the day he gave my sight to me:
It was not sin that made me blind;
It was no sinner made me see.
2 Let others call my faith a lie,
or try to stir up doubt in me:
Look at me now! None can deny
I once was blind, and now I see.
3 Ask me not how! But I know who
has opened up new worlds to me:
This Jesus does what none can do
I once was blind, and now I see!

but now the power of life you gave
has raised me up to know your love.

and when my voice is lost in death,

my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,

his truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.

he calms and heals the troubled mind;
he sends the wounded conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I’ll praise him while he lends me breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Used With Tune: OLD 113th

One thing I know
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: John 9:25 First Line: Dear savior, make me wise to see Lyrics: 1 Dear savior, make we wise to see
My sin, and guilt, and remedy;
'Tis said, of all thy blood has bought,
"They shall of Israel's God be taught."
2 Their plague of heart thy people know;
They know thy name and trust thee too;
They know the gospel's blissful sound,
The paths where endless joys abound.
3 Thy know the father and the son,
Theirs is eternal life begun:
Unto salvation they are wise,
Their grace shall into glory rise.
4 But— ignorance itself am I,
Born blind— estrang'd from thee I lie;
O Lord, to thee I humbly own
I nothing know, as should be known.
5 I scarce know God, or Christ, or sin,
My foes without, or plague within;
Know not my interest, Lord, in thee,
In pardon, peace, or liberty.
6 But help me to declare to-day,
If many things I cannot say,
"One thing I know," all praise to thee,
"Tho' blind I was— yet now I see." Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Knowledge; Spiritual knowledge; Knowledge, one thing I know

I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

"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 traveling days are done.

that he may touch my eyes and make me see.
Show me the truth made plain within your Word,
for in your book revealed I see the Lord.
