a follower of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own his cause,
or blush to speak his name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by thy word.

Author: John Newton; AnonymousHymnal: TWC #502 (1990)Meter: 8.6.8.6Lyrics: 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 that 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.Topics: Grace Of God; Grace of God; Salvation; TestimonyScripture: Exodus 15:6Languages: EnglishTune Title: NEW BRITAIN

Author: Fred Pratt GreenHymnal: TWC #767 (1990)Lyrics: An upper room did our Lord prepare
for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there.
to celebrate their Risen Friend.
A lasting gift Jesus gave his own:
to share his bread, his loving cup,
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his Cross shall lift us up.
And after Supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In him our joy shall be made complete--
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
No end there is! We depart in peace.
He loves beyond our uttermost:
In every room in our Father's house
he will be there as Lord and Host.
