Amazing Grace – How Sweet the Sound

Author: John Newton; William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,421 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 34:6-7 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed! 3 The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come; 'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 5 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.
