Here are some Sunday school songs that may be suitable for adults:

“Amazing Grace” by John Newton

 Amazing grace, How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now I am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

 

‘Twas 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,

‘Tis grace has 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 portion be,

As long as life endures.

 

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease

I shall possess within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

 

When we’ve been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’ve first begun.

“How Great Thou Art” by Carl Boberg and Stuart K. Hine

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonderConsider all the works Thy hands have madeI see the stars, I hear the rolling thunderThy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou artThen sings my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou art

When through the woods and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the treesWhen I look down from lofty mountain grandeurAnd see the brook and feel the gentle breeze

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou artThen sings my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou art

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamationAnd take me home, what joy shall fill my heartThen I shall bow in humble adorationAnd there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou artThen sings my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soulHow great Thou artThen signs my soul, my Savior God, to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou art

“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Thomas Chisholm and William M. Runyan

  1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
    There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
    Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
    As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

    • Refrain:
      Great is Thy faithfulness!
      Great is Thy faithfulness!
      Morning by morning new mercies I see:
      All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
      Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

  3. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
    Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
    Join with all nature in manifold witness
    To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

  5. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
    Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
    Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow—
    Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

“In Christ Alone” by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found
    He is my light, my strength, my song
    This cornerstone, this solid ground
    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
    What heights of love, what depths of peace
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My comforter, my all in all
    Here in the love of Christ I stand

    In Christ alone, Who took on flesh
    Fullness of God in helpless babe
    This gift of love and righteousness
    Scorned by the ones He came to save
    ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
    The wrath of God was satisfied
    For every sin on Him was laid
    Here in the death of Christ I live

    There in the ground His body lay
    Light of the world by darkness slain
    Then bursting forth in glorious day
    Up from the grave He rose again
    And as He stands in victory
    Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
    For I am His and He is mine
    Bought with the precious blood of Christ

    No guilt in life, no fear in death
    This is the pow’r of Christ in me
    From life’s first cry to final breath
    Jesus commands my destiny
    No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man
    Can ever pluck me from His hand
    ‘Til He returns or calls me home
    Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand

    No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man
    Can ever pluck me from His hand
    ‘Til He returns or calls me home
    Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand

“It Is Well With My Soul” by Horatio Spafford and Philip Bliss

  1. When peace like a river attendeth my way
    When sorrows like sea billows roll
    Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
    It is well, it is well with my soul

    It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul

    Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
    Let this blest assurance control
    That Christ (yes he has) has regarded my helpless estate
    And has shed His own blood for my soul

    It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul

    My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought (the thought)
    My sin, not in part, but the whole (every bit, every bit, all of it)
    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more (yes)
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

    It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul (sing it is well)

    It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul

    And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight
    The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
    The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend
    Even so, it is well with my soul

    It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul (because of you, Jesus, it is well)

    It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul

“Blessed Assurance” by Fanny J. Crosby and Phoebe P. Knapp

  1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
    Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
    Heir of salvation, purchase of God
    Born of His spirit, washed in His blood

    Perfect submission, all is at rest
    I in my Savior, am happy and blessed
    Watching and waiting, looking above
    Filled with His goodness, lost in His love, oh oh

    This is my story, this is my song
    Praising my Savior all the day long
    This is my story, this is my song
    Praising my Savior all the day long, oh oh oh oh

    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus

    Death could not hold You
    You are victorious
    Praise to the risen King

    Death could not hold You
    You are victorious
    Praise to the risen King

    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, wonderful Jesus
    Oh, what a Savior, ah

    Wonderful Savior, ho, oh

“Because He Lives” by Bill and Gloria Gaither

  1. God sent His son
    They called Him Jesus
    He came to love
    Heal and forgive
    He bled and died
    To buy my pardon
    An empty grave
    Is there to prove
    My savior lives

    And because He lives
    I can face tomorrow
    Because He lives
    All fear is gone
    Because I know
    He holds the future
    And life is worth the living
    Just because He lives

    And then one day
    I’ll cross the river
    And I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
    And then
    As death gives way to victory
    I’ll see the lights of glory
    And I’ll know He reigns

    Because He lives
    I can face tomorrow
    Because He lives
    All fear is gone
    Because I know
    He holds the future
    And life is worth the living
    Just because He lives (He lives)

    Hallelujah
    He lives

“He Leadeth Me” by Joseph H. Gilmore and William B. Bradbury

He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll’wer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

“Holy, Holy, Holy” by Reginald Heber and John B. Dykes

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee
Holy. holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

Holy, holy, holy
All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be

Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy
There is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

“The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote and William B. Bradbury

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
