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'd first begun.
