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. | |||
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. | |||

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.
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.
