Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Words & Music: John Newton, 1779; John P Rees, Edwin Othello Excell, Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio. ©2006 worshiptogether.com songs. CCLI #4768151

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.

CHORUS:
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy rains
Unending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
(Repeat CHORUS)

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.
(Repeat CHORUS)

You have shown us, oh God, what is good
You have shown us, oh Lord, what You require
You have heard all our songs
How we long to worship You
Yet You’ve told us the offering You desire

CHORUS:
To do justice, to love mercy
To walk humbly with You, God
You said, to do justice, to love mercy
To walk humbly with You, God

You have shown us the riches of Your love
You have shown us Your heart for those in need
Lord, You’re opening our ears
To the cries of the poor
You have called us to be Your hands and feet

(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
To the oppressed and the broken
To the widow and the orphan
Let the river of Your justice flow through us

Micah 6:8, Eph 2:10

O church, arise and put your armor on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain;
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is “Love!”
Reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul,
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev’ry side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died—
An inheritance of nations.

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict’ry march continues till the day
Ev’ry eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit, come, put strength in ev’ry stride,
Give grace for ev’ry hurdle,
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory.

You’re the God of this City
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You are

You’re the Light in this darkness
You’re the Hope to the hopeless
You’re the Peace to the restless
You are

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done here

What child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing,
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king, to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Spanish Lyrics:

¿Qué niño es éste que al dormir
En brazos de María,
Pastores velan, ángeles
Le cantan melodías?

CORO:
El es el Cristo, el Rey;
Pastores, ángeles cantad;
Venid, venid a él,
Al hijo de María

¿Por qué en humilde establo asi_
El niño es hoy nacido?
Por todo injusto pecador
Su amor ha florecido.
(Coro)

Traed ofrendas en su honor,
El rey como el labriego;
Al Rey de reyes, Salvador,
Un trono levantemos.
(Coro)

Silent night, Holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly host sing alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

Silent Night, Holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light,
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

Spanish Lyrics:
¡Noche de Paz, Noche de Amor!

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Todo duerme en derredor,
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz,
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús,
Brilla la estrella de paz,
Brilla la estrella de paz.

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Oye humilde el fiel pastor
Coros celestes que anuncian salud,
Gracias y glorias en gran plenitud,
Por nuestro buen Redentor,
Por nuestro buen Redentor.

¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Ved que bello resplandor
Luce en el rostro del niño Jesús,
En el pesebre del mundo la luz,
Astro de eterno fulgor.
Astro de eterno fulgor.

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth;
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn,
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices,
O night divine, O night when Christ was born,
O night divine— O night, O night divine.

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease;
Sweet hymns of joy, in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name;
Christ is the Lord! Oh praise his name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

Spanish Lyrics:
Santa La Noche

Santa la noche hermosas las estrellas
La noche cuando nació el Señor
El mundo envuelto estuvo en sus querellas.
Hasta que Dios nos envió al Salvador
Una esperanza todo el mundo siente
La luz de un nuevo día al fin brillo
Hoy adorad, a Cristo reverente,
¡Oh, noche divina!
¡Nació el Salvador!
Divina noche
De Cristo el Señor

Nos enseñó a amar entre nosotros
Su ley amor, su evangelio trae paz
Nos enseñó que hermanos somos todos
y de opresión El nos lleva a Su luz
Gozosos hoy con gratitud cantando
Al nombre del Señor cantad con dulce alabanza
Hoy su poder y gloria proclamando,
A Cristo dad gloria
y honor y majestad
Dad Gloria eterna
A Cristo el Salvador

Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming

Download CHART WITH MUSIC STAFF

Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming
Words: 15th Century German Carol, tr. Theodore Baker, 1894. Music: Es Ist Ein Ros’, 1599, arr Sufjan Stevens.

Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming,
As those of old have sung.
It came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.

Isaiah ’twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
And so then we behold it,
The virgin mother kind.
To show God’s love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

This Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere;
True Man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.

O Savior, Child of Mary,
Who felt our human woe,
O Savior, King of glory,
Who dost our weakness know;
Bring us at length we pray,
To Thy bright court of heaven,
And to Thy endless day!

Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing;
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the world! The Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy;
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

CHORUS:
The Lord is come, The Lord is come!
Joy to the world! The Lord is come!

No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.
(Chorus)

He rules the world with truth and grace
and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love;
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.
(Chorus)

Gozo Del Mundo

Gozo del mundo es el Señor,
que viene a rescatar;
con gratitud y con amor
al Rey glorificad,

Viene al mundo a reinar
Contada bendición.

por tan precioso don,
que Dios nos da con gran amor:
El don de nuestro Dios,

el don, el don nuestro Dios.
