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 called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
