BOOK I.  Though kings and nations in his view
 * Are but as motes and dust,

His eyes and ear are fix d on you
 * Who in his mercy trust.

8 Not one concern of ours is small If we belong to him. To teach us this, the Lord of all Once made the iron swim.

1 ALAS ! Elisha s servant cried. When he the Syrian army spied ; But he was soon released from care, In answer to the prophet s prayer.

2 Straightway he saw, with other eyes, A greater army from the skies, A fiery guard around the hill ; Thus are the saints preserved still.

3 When Satan and his host appear, Like him of old, I faint and fear ; Like him, by faith, with joy I see A greater host engaged for me.

4 The saints espouse my cause by pray r, The angels make my soul their care ; Mine is the promise seal d with blood, And Jesus lives to make it good.

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 !
