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 hath 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.
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.
The world shall soon dissolve like snow, * The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below, * Shall be forever mine.
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.
