Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I 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,
We 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.

​

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 called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

​

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'd first begun.
