Lyrics:

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME, by Edward Perronet

1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!
   Let angels prostrate fall;
   Bring forth the royal diadem,
   And crown Him Lord of all!
2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
   Ye ransomed from the fall,
   Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
   And crown Him Lord of all!
3. Let every kindred, every tribe,
   On this terrestrial ball,
   To Him all majesty ascribe,
   And crown Him Lord of all!
4. Oh, that with yonder sacred throng
   We at His feet may fall!
   We’ll join the everlasting song,
   And crown Him Lord of all!

AMAZING GRACE, by John Newton
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 Through many dangers, toils and snares 
I have already come; 
‘Tis grace hath 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 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, 
and mortal life shall cease, 
I shall possess within the veil, 
A life of joy and peace. 
6 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’ve first begun.
