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 snare,
I have already come;

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.


The lord has promised 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 profess, within the vail,
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 for ever mine
