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 be 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'd first begun.
