ORIGINAL LYRICS
AMAZING GRACE (HOW SWEET THE SOUND)
THAT SAV'D A WRETCH LIKE ME!
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND,
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.
'TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEV'D;
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR,
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEV'D!
THRO' MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARE,
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
'TIS GRACE HAS BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME.
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES;
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.
YES, WHEN THIS FLESH AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE;
I SHALL PROFESS, WITHIN THE VAIL,
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.
THE EARTH SHALL SOON DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE;
BUT GOD, WHO CALL'D ME HERE BELOW,
WILL BE FOR EVER MINE.
