Amazing
grace! (how sweet the sound)
That sav’d
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 reliev’d;
How
precious did that grace appear,
The hour I
first believ’d!
Thro’ many
dangers, toils and snares,
I have
already come;
’Tis grace
has brought me safe thus far,
And grace
will lead me home.
The Lord
has promis’d good to me,
His word my
hope secures;
He will my
shield and portion be,
As long as
life endures.
Yes, 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 call’d me here below,
Will be
forever mine.
