Author: John Newton 1725-1807
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.
2. God’s grace first taught my heart to fear,
his grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3. Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
his grace has brought me safe this far
and grace will lead me home.
4. The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
my shield and great reward is he
as long as life endures.
5. And when this mortal life is past
and earthly days shall cease,
I shall possess with Christ at last
eternal joy and peace.
6. The earth will soon dissolve like snow,
the sun no longer shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be for ever mine.
