10a. Amazing Grace

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;
It's grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4 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.

Optional verse:

5 Amazing Grace! How warm the sound
That gave new life to me.
He will my shield and portion be
His word my hope secures.

Additional tag:
I've got that Peaceful Easy Feeling
And I know you won't let me down
Cause I'm already standin' on your ground
