| 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. |
