LyicsAmazing 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.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'T is 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 child and portion be
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fall,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail
A life of joy and peace.
