amazing grace

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;

'This grace that 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.




Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil

A life of joy and peace.




When we've been there a thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we first begun.
