Songs
Amazing Grace
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.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far
and Grace will lead us home
When we’ve been here ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
then when we’ve first begun
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.
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.
Hymn Before Action
The earth is full of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath,
The Nations in their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet we loose he legions
ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles, aid!
High lust and froward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek Thy mercy now!
The sinner that forswore Thee,
The fool that passed Thee by,
Our times are known before Thee
Lord, grant us strength to die!
Australian National Anthem
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
With golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history’s page let every stage
Advance Australia Fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair
New Zealand National Anthem
God of Nations at thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our Freeland.
Guard pacific’s triple star
From the shafts of strife and war.
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
