- 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.
- '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 has brought me safe thus far,
- And grace will lead me home.
- 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 shall soon dissolve like snow,
- The sun forbear to shine;
- But God, who call'd me here below,
- Will be forever mine.
- -- Amazing Grace, John Newton
