Amazing Grace
John Newton
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
'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 hath 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
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
