Author: John Newton Hymnal: NCH1976 #391 (1976) Tune Title: [Amazing grace, how sweet the sound] First Line: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound Lyrics: 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. 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!3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. 5 And when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease;I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. 6 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.
