Amazing Grace
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
'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 that brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds, In a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows heals his wounds, And drives away his fears
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
