Lyrics
VERSE 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.
VERSE 2
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed!
VERSE 3
Thro’ many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come,
‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
VERSE 4
The Lord has promised good to me, His words my hope secure,
He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.
VERSE 5
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.
