Amazing Grace

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
Was blind, but now I see.

 

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

 

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come.
'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far,
And grace will lead us home.

 

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.

 

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

 

And when this heart and flesh shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of health and peace
