Sacred Hymns (Nauvoo Hymnal) (1841), no. 118
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 be As 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 below Will be forever mine.
