Amazing Grace

Trad. / Pattern: 1 _ 2 & 3 &

That 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.

That was grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,

his word my hope secures.

He will my shield and porion be, as long as life endures.

Yes, when this lesh and heart shall fail,

and mortal life shall cease.

I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

Auld Lang Syne

Trad. / Pattern: 1 _ 2 & 3 _ 4 &

And surely you will buy your cup and surely I'll buy mine,

And we'll take a cup o'kindness yet - for auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

We too have run around the slopes and picked the daisies ine,

We've londoned many weary foot since auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

We too have paddled in the stream from morning sun to night,

But the seas between us broad have roared from auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

Banks of the Ohio

Trad. / Pattern: 1 _ 2 & 3 _ 4 &

Chorus:

Only say that you'll be mine - in our home we'll happy be,

down beside where the waters low - on the banks of the Ohio.

I held a knife against her breast - as into my arms she pressed,

she said Willie, don't you murder me - I'm unprepared for eternity.

Chorus

I took her by her lily white hand - and dragged her down that bank of
