Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)<br>
That sav'd a wretch like me!<br>
I once was lost, but now am found,<br>
Was blind, but now I see.<br>
<br>
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,<br>
And grace my fears reliev'd;<br>
How precious did that grace appear,<br>
The hour I first believ'd!<br>
 <br>
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,<br>
I have already come;<br>
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,<br>
And grace will lead me home.<br>
 <br>
The Lord has promis'd good to me,<br>
His word my hope secures;<br>
He will my shield and portion be,<br>
As long as life endures<br>
 <br>
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,<br>
And mortal life shall cease;<br>
I shall possess, within the vail,<br>
A life of joy and peace.<br>
<br>
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,<br>
The sun forbear to shine;<br>
But God, who call'd me here below, <br>
Will be for ever mine.<br>
