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 'Twas grace that brought me safe this far And grace will lead me home The earth has promised good to me Her word my hope secures She 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 will soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But she who called me here below Will be forever mine
