I: 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.
II: 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, / And grace my fears relieved; / How precious did that grace appear / The hour I first believed!
III: Through many dangers, toils, and snares.
I have already come; / 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, / And grace will lead me home.
IV: The Lord has promised good to me --
His word my hope secures; / He will my shield and portion be / As long as life endures.
V: 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.
VI: The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, / The sun forbear to shine; / But God, who call'd me here below, / Will be for ever mine.
