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 T'was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed O God of grace, Who cleanses me of sin Your strong embrace will keep me till the end The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below Will be forever mine
