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 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 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.
When we’ve been there ten thousand hears,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

Just a Closwer With with Thee

JUST A CLOSWER ALK WITH THEE,
GRANT IT, JESUS, IS MY PLEA,
DAILY WALKING CLOSING TO THEE,
LET IT BE, DEAR LORD, LET IT BE.

1.
I am weak but thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me fromall wrong;
I'll be satistfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to thee.

2.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but thee, dear Lord, none but thee.

3.
When my feeble life is o'er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To thy kindom's shore, to thy shore.
