Author: John Newton Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #547 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 My God has promised good to me,
whose word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
5 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. Topics: Comfort and Assurance; God Covenant and Promises of; God Grace of ; Healing; Salvation; Year A Lent 4; Year B Lent 4; Year C Trinity Sunday; Year C Proper 19; Year C Proper 23 Languages: English Tune Title: AMAZING GRACE (NEW BRITAIN)
