[Verse 1]
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me! (wretch like me!)
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see. (now I see!)
[Verse 2]
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved; (my fears relieved!)
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed. (I believed!)
[Verse 3]
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come; (I have come!)
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home. (lead me home!)
[Verse 4]
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures; (my hope secures!)
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures. (life endures!)
[Verse 5]
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease, (life shall cease!)
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace. (joy and peace!)
[Verse 6]
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine; (forever shine!)
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine. (forever mine!)
[Verse 7]
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun, (as the sun!)
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun. (first begun!)
