Singing the Sacred ‎#19

19. Amazing Grace

1 Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, by now am found;
was blind, but now I see.

2 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 first begun.
