We sang only a couple of hymns out of the hymnal this morning and one of them was an obscure Mennonite hymnal only song that I can’t find online, so I’m stuck repeating a hymn I posted only a month ago. This time I’ll post the words as we sang them this morning rather than how they appeared in the Olney Hymnal.
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.’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.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.—-John Newton
If you’d like, you hear my church choir singing Amazing Grace when we sang it last month. You’ll be downloading the mp3 if you click that link. (The choir sang this hymn in this arrangement at my husband’s memorial service, too.)
