  • Amazing grace

    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,
    His Word my hope secures
    He will my shield and portion be,
    As long as life endures…

    5 Yea, 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 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
    The sun forbear to shine
    But God, who called me here below,
    Will be forever mine…

    7 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

    (Shout, shout for glory,
    Shout, shout aloud for glory;
    Brother, sister, mourner,
    All shout glory hallelujah…)

    (Written by John Newton and William Cowper- Olney hymns)

  • How great thou art

    1 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
    Consider all the works Thy hand hath made
    I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
    Thy power throughout the universe displayed…

    (Chorus)
    Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
    How great Thou art, how great Thou art (2)

    2 When through the woods, and forest glades I wander
    And hear the birds, sing sweetly in the trees
    When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
    And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

    (Chorus)

    3 And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
    Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
    That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
    He bled and died to take away my sin

    (Chorus)

    4 When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
    And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
    Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
    And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art…

    (Chorus)

    5 When burdens press, and seem beyond endurance,
    Bowed down with grief, to Him I lift my face
    And then in love He brings me sweet assurance
    ‘My child, for thee sufficient is my grace…!’.

    (Chorus)

    6 O when I see, ungrateful man defiling
    This bounteous earth, God’s gifts so good and great
    In foolish pride, God’s holy Name reviling,
    And yet, in grace, His wrath and judgment wait

    (Chorus)

    7 When I hear, the voice of thunder and storms
    and see the blades, of thunder striking from the sky
    when the cold rain, and fresh showers whirl
    and the arc of promise, shines before my eyes

    (Chorus)

    (Author: Carl Boberg; Translated to English by: Stuart K. Hine, and others)
