Amazing Grace

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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’d first begun.
