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

was 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

was 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 min
