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

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed


Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come

'Tis grace that 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

And when this flesh

and heart shall fail
and mortal life shall cease
I shall possess

within the vale
a life of joy and peace


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
