Author: John Newton Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #36 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) First Line: Amazing grace! How sweet the sound 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 Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me:
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5 And when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.
6 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've first begun. Topics: Grace; Singing Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 Languages: English Tune Title: NEW BRITAIN
Amazing Grace!
