Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind but now I see!
Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace,
So vast and yet so free,
The Son of God, the Righteous One,
Is crucified for me!
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace,
So vast and yet so free,
The Son of God, the Righteous One,
Is crucified for me!
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come,
Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing our praise
Than when we’d first begun!
Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace,
So vast and yet so free,
The Son of God, the Righteous One,
Is crucified for me!
