Author: John Newton, 1725-1806 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,519 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!

was blind, but now I see.

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 has 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 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine. Topics: Advent IV Year B; Lent IV Year A; Lent IV Year B; Lent IV Year C; Proper 23 Year B Scripture: 1 Chronicles 17:16 Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE

Lord, we pray with one accord,
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.

help us rise and pledge our word.

from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned:
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life’s brief span.

your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness,
bring the life of Christ to mind;
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Topics: Proper 7 Year C; Proper 10 Year C; Remembrance Sunday; Second Sunday Before Advent Year C Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18 Used With Tune: ALLELUIA DULCE CARMEN

bear the toil, maintain the strife,

join the war, and face the foe;
will ye flee in danger's hour?
Know ye not your Captain's power?
3 Let not sorrow dim your eye;
soon shall every tear be dry:
let not fears your course impede;
great your strength, if great your need.
4 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
march in heavenly armour clad;
fight, nor think the battle long:
soon shall victory wake your song.
5 Onward then in battle move;
more than conquerors ye shall prove:
though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers, onward go.
