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! The Lord has promis'd good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come! 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home. 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.
