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 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 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.
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.
The world shall soon
dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who
called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
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'd first begun.
John Newton
