John Newton Amazing Grace! 1 Virginia Harmony 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 first begun. Bible Verse: In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7 ESV
2 At Calvary Wm. R. Newell Daniel B. Towner Years I spent in vanity and pride Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died, on Calvary. Mercy there was great, and grace was free; Pardon there was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary. Now I ve given to Jesus everything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing, of Calvary. Mercy there was great, and grace was free; Pardon there was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary. Oh, the love that drew salvation s plan! Oh, the grace that brought it down to man! Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span, at Calvary. Mercy there was great, and grace was free; Pardon there was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary. Bible Verse: And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on His right and one on His left. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they cast lots to divide His garments. Luke 23:33-34 ESV
Isaac Watts At the Cross 3 Ralph E. Hudson Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? At the cross, at the cross Where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! But drops of grief can never repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, Tis all that I can do. At the cross, at the cross Where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! Bible Verse: And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on His right and one on His left. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they cast lots to divide His garments. Luke 23:33-34 ESV

Matthew Bridges Crown Him with Many Crowns 5 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own. Awake, my soul and sing, Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King, Through all eternity. Crown Him the Lord of Life, Who triumphed over the grave, And rose victorious in the strife, For those He came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. Crown Him the Lord of Love. Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified, No angel in the sky, Can fully bear that sight. But downward bends His wondering eye, At mysteries so bright. George J. Elvey Bible Verse: His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems, and He has a name written that no one knows but Himself. Revelation 19:12 ESV

Then at last when on high He sees us, Our journey done, We shall rest where the steps of Jesus End at His throne. Footprints of Jesus, That make the pathway glow; We will follow the steps of Jesus, Where er they go.

8 I Know that My Redeemer Lives Samuel Medley John Hatton I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever living Head. He lives triumphant from the grave, He lives eternally to save, He lives all glorious in the sky, He lives exalted there on high. He lives to bless me with His love, He lives to plead for me above, He lives my hungry soul to feed, He lives to help in time of need. He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives, I know that my Redeemer lives! Bible Verse: For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will stand upon the earth.

In the Garden 9 C. Austin Miles C. Austin Miles I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses; And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses, And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing; And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. I d stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling; But He bids me go; through the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. Bible Verse: Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. John 20:14 ESV
10 It Is Well with My Soul Horatio G. Spafford Philip P. Bliss When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well, with my soul, It is well, It is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come; Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. It is well, with my soul, It is well, It is well with my soul. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought; My sin not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to His cross and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul! It is well, with my soul, It is well, It is well with my soul. And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. It is well, with my soul, It is well, It is well with my soul. Bible Verse: Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 John 1:2 ESV
Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross 11 Fanny J. Crosby Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary s mountain. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever, Till my ransomed soul shall find, Rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me. There the Bright and Morning Star, Shed His beams around me. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever, Till my ransomed soul shall find, Rest beyond the river. Near the cross! I ll watch and wait, Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river. In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever, Till my ransomed soul shall find, Rest beyond the river. William H. Doane Bible Verse: But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Galatians 6:14 ESV
12 Jesus Shall Reign Isaac Watts John Hatton Jesus shall reign where er the sun Does His successive journeys run; His kingdom spread from shore to shore Till moons shall wax and wane no more. To Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. Let every creature rise and bring Honor and glory to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen! Bible Verse: May He have dominion from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth! Psalm 72:8 ESV
Ernest W. Shurtleff Lead On, Oh King Eternal 13 Lead on, oh King Eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest, Your tents shall be our home: Through days of preparation, Your grace has made us strong, And now, oh King Eternal, We lift our battle song. Lead on, oh King Eternal. Till sin s fierce war shall cease, And holiness shall whisper The sweet amen of peace; For not with swords loud clashing, Or roll of stirring drums; With deeds of love and mercy The heavenly kingdom comes. Lead on, oh King Eternal, We follow not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning, Where-e er Your face appears; Your cross is lifted o er us; We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, oh God of might.

Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away, Oh let me from this day, Be wholly Thine! May Thy rich grace impart, Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, Oh may my love to Thee, Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire! While life s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow s tears away, Nor let me ever stray, From Thee aside.

16 Nothing but the Blood Robert Lowry Robert Lowry What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Oh! Precious is the flow, That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; This is all my righteousness, Nothing but the blood of Jesus, Oh! Precious is the flow, That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Bible Verse: This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20 NIV
Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded 17 Bernard of Clairvaux Oh sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown; Oh Sacred Head, what glory, What bliss, till now as Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. Now from Thy cheeks has vanished Their color once so fair; From Thy red lips is banished The splendor that was there. Grim death, with cruel rigor, Hath robbed Thee of Thy life; Thus Thou hast lost Thy vigor, Thy strength in this sad strife. My burden in Thy Passion, Lord, Thou hast borne for me, For it was my transgression Which brought this woe on Thee. I cast me down before Thee, Wrath were my rightful lot; Have mercy, I implore Thee; Redeemer, spurn me not! Hans L. Hassler Bible Verse: And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head. Matthew 27: 28-29 ESV

Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, Redeemed, redeemed, His child, and forever I am. I know I shall see in His beauty The King in whose law I delight; Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps And giveth me songs in the night. Redeemed, redeemed, Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, Redeemed, redeemed, His child, and forever I am. Bible Verse: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people Luke 1:68 ESV
Augustus M. Toplady Rock of Ages 19 Thomas Hastings Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee, Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy law s demands. Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Bible Verse: The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2 ESV
20 The Old Rugged Cross George Bennard George Bennard On a hill far away, stood and old rugged cross, The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear lamb of God left His glory above, To bear it to dark Calvary. So I ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He ll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory, forever I ll share. So I ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. Bible Verse: And He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. John 19:17 ESV
William Cowper There Is a Fountain 21 19 th Century Camp Meeting Tune There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel s veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. E er since, by faith, I saw the stream Your flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die; Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. Dear dying Lamb, Your precious blood Shall never lose its power Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more. Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved, to sin no more; Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more. Bible Verse: On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness. Zechariah 13:1 ESV
22 There is Power in the Blood Lewis E. Jones Lewis E. Jones Would you be free from the burden of sin? There s power in the blood, power in the blood; Would you o er evil a victory win?

There is power, power, wonder-working power In the blood of the Lamb; There is power, power, wonder-working power In the precious blood of the lamb. Bible Verse: So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through His own blood. Hebrews 13:12 ESV
Daniel W. Whittle There Shall be Showers 23 James McGranahan There shall be showers of blessing; This is the promise of love; There shall be seasons refreshing, Sent from the Savior above. Showers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need: Mercy drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead. There shall be showers of blessing, Precious reviving again; Over the hills and the valleys, Sound of abundance of rain. Showers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need: Mercy drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead. There shall be showers of blessing: Send them upon us, Oh Lord; Grant to us now a refreshing, Come, and now honor Thy word. Showers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need: Mercy drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead.

24 What a Friend We Have in Jesus Joseph Scriven Charles C. Converse What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry, Everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry, Everything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He ll take and shield you; You will find a solace there. Bible Verse: Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. John 15:13 ESV
Isaac Watts When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 25 When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Lowell Mason Bible Verse: But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Galatians 6:14 ESV
