Lyrics

1. Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I am found,
Was blind, but now I see.


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!


3. Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'twas grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.


4. The Lord has promised 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.
