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 The Lord has promised good to me,
|
||
|
|
His Word my hope secures.
|
||
|
|
He will my shield and portion be
|
||
|
|
As long as life endures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4 Thro' many dangers, toils and snares
|
||
|
|
I have already come.
|
||
|
|
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
|
||
|
|
And grace will lead me home.
|
||
|

5 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.
|
||
|
