Amazing Grace-Traditional

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. 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 promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. 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've first begun.
