Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Verse 3
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
Verse 4
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine.
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Verse 5
When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.
