Amazing Grace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
[Verse 3]
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home
[Verse 4]
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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've first begun.
