1. 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. 'Twas grace that
taught my heart to fear,
and
grace my fears relieved;
how
precious did that grace appear
the
hour I first believed.
3. Through many
dangers, toils, and snares,
I
have already come;
'tis
grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and
grace will lead me home.
4. The Lord has
promised good to me,
his
word my hope secures;
he
will my shield and portion be,
as
long as life endures.
5. 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.
6. 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 first begun.
