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. [taal a] 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. [taal b] How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed. [trans off] The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures. [trans on] He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. [vertaal uit] Thro' many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. [vertaal aan] 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. [end] 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.
