Amazing Grace Lyrics

[Verse 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

[Verse 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

[Verse 3]
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 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

[Outro]
Amen

About

“Amazing Grace” is a Christian hymn that was written by John Newton. Newton, who was born in 1725, was also involved in the slave trade. He was aboard a vessel in 1748 when it was hit by a vicious storm. It was during this time that Newton called out to God. This moment marked his rebirth. He ended his career in the slave trade in 1754 and began to study Christian Theology, becoming ordained in 1764 in the Church of England. “Amazing Grace” was published in 1779, and was used extensively during the Great Awakening. It is a song that testifies to God’s mercy and forgiveness, and the power of salvation and redemption.
