Amazing Grace

 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. 'T'is grace that 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.
