Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,   That saved a wretch like me!   I once was lost but know am found,   Was blind but know I see      "twas grace that taught my heart to fear,   And grace my fears relieved;   How precious did that grace appear   The hour I first believed!      The lord has promised good to me,   His word my hope secures;   He will my shield and portion be   As long as life endures.      Through many dangers, toils and snares,   I have already come;   'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,   And grace will lead me home.      Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,   That saved a wretch like me!   I once was lost but know am found,   Was blind but now I see
