Author: John Newton, 1725-1807; Anonymous Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #334 (2007) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: John 9:25 First Line: Amazing grace! how sweet the sound 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 hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
6 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. Topics: Assurance; Conversion; Ecumenism / Interfaith; Encopragement; Faithfulness; Fear; Funeral; Grace; Light; Peace; Promise; Salvation; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: AMAZING GRACE
