Amazing Grace

Text: John Newton 1725-1807
Music: Traditional


THE VERSES IN ITALICS COULD BE OMITTED

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. 


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 first begun.
