Amazing Grace

lyricist: John Newton
Composer: Traditional American melody

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!

The Lord hath promised good to me

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.

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.
