[ G ] Amazing Grace, how [ C ] sweet the [ G ] sound

That saved a wretch like [ D ] me,

I [ G ] once was lost but [ C ] now am [ G ] found

Was blind but [ D ] now I [ G ] 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 posess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace.

The world shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun refuse to shine. But God, who called me here below, Shall be forever mine. When we've been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we'd first begun.
