Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound
Author: John Newton; William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,417 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.

Work, for the night is coming
Appears in 1,167 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 1,223 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 132 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.

To speak his beauty;
My soul mounts on the wing
At the mere tho't
How Christ my life has bought. [Chorus]

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 437 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."

my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!

and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.

he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.

new life the dead receive,
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy!

assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad

2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
his truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.
3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind,
he calms and heals the troubled mind;
he sends the wounded conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I’ll praise him while he lends me breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Used With Tune: OLD 113th

Awake, awake, my sluggish soul
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, my sluggish soul,
Awake, and view the setting sun;
See how the shades of death advance,
Ere half the task of life is done.
2 Death!--'tis an awful, solemn sound;
Oh, let it wake the slumb'ring ear!
Apace the dreadful conqueror comes,
With all his pale companions near.
3 Thy drowsy eyes will soon be clos'd,--
These friendly warnings heard no more;
Soon will the nighty Judge approach,
E'en now he stands before the door.
4 To-day attend his gracious voice;
This is the summons that he sends:
"Awake,--for on this transient hour
Thy long eternity depends." Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment; The night cometh
Awake, awake, my sluggish soul
