Amazing Grace

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 shield 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.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow

the sun forbear to shine;

but God

who called me here below

will be forever mine.
