AMAZING GRACE

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I am found

Was blind, but now I see

It was grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relived

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believe

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come

This grace has brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home

The Lord has promise good to me

His words my hope secure

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail

And mortal life shall cease

I shall possess within the veil

A life of joy and peace

This earth shall soon dissolve like snow

The sun forbear the shine

But God who called me here below

Will be forever mine
