Sing till the power of the Lord come down. Shout Hallelujah! Praise his holy name! Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see. Jesus, Jesus, how I love thee! Shout hallelujah! Praise his holy name! Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? No, there’s a cross for everyone and there’s a cross for me. Jesus, Jesus, how I love thee! Shout hallelujah! Praise his holy name!
