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. |
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, |
The sun forbear to shine; |
But God, who called me here below, |
Will be forever mine. |
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. |
