AMAZING GRACE

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.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promise good to me;
his word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

John Newton
