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 hath 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. |
|
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, |
|
I shall possess within the veil, |
|
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've first begun. |
