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.
Chorus:
Shout, shout for glory,
Shout, shout aloud for glory,
Brother, sister, mourner,
All shout glory hallelujah.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
(Chorus)
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
(Chorus)
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
(Chorus)
The earth will soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
(Chorus)
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,

And grace will lead me home.
