Voices Together 163. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

Voices Together‎#163

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 has 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.
