Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton; William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,445 hymnals Scripture: John 9:25 Lyrics: 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 hath 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.

Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound
Work, for the night is coming
Appears in 1,180 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' the morning noon;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work 'mid springing flowers.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their red tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark'ning,
When man's work is o'er. Used With Tune: [Work, for the night is coming]

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,233 hymnals Scripture: John 9 Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me; your morn shall rise
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till traveling days are done.

One more day's work for Jesus
Author: Anna Warner Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 Lyrics: 1 One more day's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me;
But heav'n is nearer,
And Christ is dearer,
Than yesterday to me;
His love and light
Fill all my soul to-night.
Chorus:
One more day's work for Jesus,
One more day's work for Jesus,
One more day's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me.
2 One more day's work for Jesus;
How glorious is my King!
'Tis joy, not duty,
To speak his beauty;
My soul mounts on the wing
At the mere tho't
How Christ my life has bought. [Chorus]
3 One more day's work for Jesus;
How sweet the work has been,
To tell the story,
To show the glory,
When Christ's flock enter in!
How it did shine
In this poor heart of mine! [Chorus]
4 One more day's work for Jesus,
O yes, a weary day;
But heav'n shines clearer,
And rest comes nearer,
At each step of the way,
And Christ in all;
Before his face I fall. [Chorus]
5 O blessed work for Jesus!
O rest at Jesus' feet!
There toil seems pleasure,
My wants are treasure,
And pain for him is sweet,
Lord, if I may,
I'll serve another day. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Missionary Songs Used With Tune: ONE MORE DAY'S WORK FOR JESUS

He Healed the Darkness of My Mind
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 9 Lyrics: 1 He healed the darkness of my mind
the day he gave my sight to me:
It was not sin that made me blind;
It was no sinner made me see.
2 Let others call my faith a lie,
or try to stir up doubt in me:
Look at me now! None can deny
I once was blind, and now I see.
3 Ask me not how! But I know who
has opened up new worlds to me:
This Jesus does what none can do
I once was blind, and now I see!

Go, Labor On
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 441 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent,
your joy to do the Father's will;
it is the way the Master went;
should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on: 'tis not for naught;
your earthly loss is heav'nly gain;
men heed you, love you, praise you not;
the Master praises - what are men?
3 Go, labor on: enough while here
if he shall praise you, if he deign
your willing heart to mark and cheer:
no toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Go, labor on while it is day:
the world's dark night is hast'ning on.
Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away;
it is not thus that souls are won.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray;
be wise the erring soul to win;
go forth into the world's highway,
compel the wand'rer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice;
for toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice,
the midnight peal, "Behold, I come."

O for a thousand tongues to sing
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,748 hymnals Scripture: John 9:1-12 Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues, to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.
4 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
5 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy!
6 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of thy name. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry Used With Tune: RICHMOND
