Text: | "Amazing grace" |
Author: | John Newton |
Tune: | ARLINGTON |
Composer: | T. A. Arne |
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 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail
A life of joy and peace.
5 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be for ever mine.
