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 The Lord has promised good to me;
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
4 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
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. Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE
