A-maz-ing 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 re-lieved;
How pre-cious did that grace ap-pear
The hour I first be-lieved!
Through man-y dan-gers, toils and snares,
I have al-read-y come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has prom-ised good to me,
His word my hope se-cures;
He will my shield and por-tion be
As long as life en-dures.
And when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mor-tal life shall cease,
I shall pos-sess with-in the veil
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shin-ing as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
Be the first to react on this!
