AMAZING
GRACE
Amazing
grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me
I
once was lost, but now I’m 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
Yes,
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
earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine
But
God, who called me here below, will be forever mine
When
we’ve been there ten thousands years, bright shining as the sun
We’ve
no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun
