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 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.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, 
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
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 first begun.
