How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. 3 The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. 4 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come. 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 5 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’d first begun.

His lovingkindness, O how strong! 4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood, His lovingkindness, O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Savior to depart; But though I oft have Him forgot, His lovingkindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O may my last expiring breath His lovingkindness praise in death.
