Amazing Grace Lyrics

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
