AMAZING GRACE
by John Newton

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!
(Harriet Beecher Stowe)

HE LEADETH ME!
O BLESSED THOUGHT
by Rev. Sylvanus Dryden Phelps


He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll’wer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
by Annie Sherwood Hawks

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

Refrain:
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.

I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.
Refrain

I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.
Refrain

I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son
Refrain

BAPTIST

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with you all.
2 Corinthians 13:14

Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psalm 51:10-12

The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.
