Title: “Endless Grace”

This song is a modern adaptation of a hymn that encapsulates the timeless journey of discovering divine grace through life's varying moments.

Here are three of the most beloved and widely recognized Christian hymns:

1. Amazing Grace - Written by John Newton in 1772, this hymn reflects on Newton's own experience of divine grace and has become one of the most popular hymns in the English language. Its simple melody and profound lyrics about redemption and hope are cherished across various denominations.

- Lyrics include:
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. How Great Thou Art - Originally a Swedish poem by Carl Boberg in 1885, it was translated into English by Stuart K. Hine. This hymn is known for its beautiful melody and lyrics that celebrate the wonder of God's creation and His love.

- Lyrics include:
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

3. Be Thou My Vision - An ancient Irish hymn from the 6th or 8th century, originally written in Old Irish, translated by Mary Elizabeth Byrne in 1905, and then versified by Eleanor Hull in 1912. This hymn is a prayer for God to be the vision and guide of life.

- Lyrics include:
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best Thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

These hymns not only have historical significance but continue to inspire and comfort many with their timeless messages of faith, hope, and devotion.
