Amazing Grace
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,414 hymnals Scripture: John 1:14-17 First Line: Amazing grace--how sweet the sound (Sublime gracia del Señor) 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 The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
His grace has brought me safe thus far,
His grace will lead me home.
4 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
Amazing grace shall then prevail
In heaven's joy and peace.
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.

Amazing Grace
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 416 hymnals Scripture: John 1:11 First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown Refrain First Line: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown
when thou camest to earth for me;
but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
for thy holy nativity.
Refrain:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
proclaiming thy royal degree;
but in lowly birth thou didst come to earth,
and in great humility: (Refrain)
3 The foxes found rest and the birds their nest
in the shade of the forest tree;
but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God,
in the desert of Galilee: (Refrain)
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
that should set thy people free;
but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
they bore thee to Calvary: (Refrain)
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
at thy coming to victory,
let thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
when thou comest and callest for me!

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: John 1:11 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
all made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But, O, my Friend,
my fFiend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his strong praises sing,
resounding all the way
Hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Ye they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suff'ring goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home,
but mine the tomb
wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine:
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.
This is my Friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend.
