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.

‘Twas Grace that tought 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 hath 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.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine.
