AMAZING  GRACE

by John Newton

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.

Thru many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

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.
