How to Play I Stand All Amazed on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About I Stand All Amazed

#

Charles H. Gabriel, a prolific American gospel songwriter, wrote both the words and music of this hymn, first published in 1898. It reflects on the crucifixion with a tone of quiet wonder, and it is sung widely in Latter-day Saint services as well as other churches.

Of the pieces here, this is one of the harder ones for a 6-hole ocarina. The tune wanders through several flats and sharps rather than staying in a plain key, and those accidentals demand careful fingering to keep in tune. It is worth learning slowly, one phrase at a time, and it rewards the patience once the chromatic turns start to sit right.

I Stand All Amazed Lyrics

#

I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me.
I tremble to know that for me He was crucified,
That for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled and died.

Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me.

I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,
That He should extend His great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

I think of His hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt,
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at His feet.
