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 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 sheild and portion be
As long as life endures
Yes, 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 I've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
I've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when I first begun
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 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 sheild and portion be
As long as life endures
Yes, 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 I've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
I've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when I first begun
