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 earth shall soon dissolve like snow, |
The sun forbear 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. |
