Author: John Newton; Anon. Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #314 (2023) 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 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 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow;
the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine.
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'd first begun.
