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; 
'tis grace has 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 en
dures./ 

Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail, 
and mortal life shall cease, 
I shall possess within the veil 
a life of joy and peace./ 

The earth shall soon dis
solve like snow, 
the sun forbear to shine; 
but God, who called me here below, 
will be for ever mine. 
Amen.
