[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 relieved:
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
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 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 for ever mine.
