In Celebration of God’s Love 4




This is a short mini-series on the truths and beauty of some of my favourite hymns. I have chosen five hymns – four old and one new – that simply speak to me. There are many others and I am sure your choice may be very different from mine. Here is my fourth choice.

Popularized a while back now, Amazing Grace has been spoken of as the most popular hymn of all time – and possibly it is.  It speaks of all that Jesus did for us and all that is to come as a result of His sacrifice.

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.

T'was 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 that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
