Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav'd 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 reliev'd
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
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
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
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who call'd me here below
Will be forever mine
