AMAZING GRACE
- words by John Newton (1725-1807)
- music traditional
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
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone
And there's a cross for me
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
Allelujah, Allelujah
Allelujah, Praise God!
Allelujah, Allelujah
Allelujah, Praise God!
Amazing grace has set me free
To touch, to taste, to feel
The wonders of accepting Love
Have made me whole and real
