Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
1. 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.
2. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears reliev’d;How precious did that grace appear,The hour I first believ’d!
3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares,I have already come;Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.
4. The Lord has promis’d good to me,His word my hope secures;He will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures.
5. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,And mortal life shall cease;I shall possess within the veil,A life of joy and peace.
6. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,The sun forbear to shine;But God, who call’d me here belowWill be forever mine.
