Amazing Grace - J. Newton, 1750

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


T'was 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
we have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
and Grace will lead us 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


When we've been here ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
then when we've first begun
