Tune: | AMAZING GRACE |
Arranger: | J. Jefferson Cleveland, 1937- |
1 Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm 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;
'Twas grace that 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.
