Lyics

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.



'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!



Through 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 promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.



Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess, within the vail,

A life of joy and peace.
