Lyrics
Amazing Grace!
Oh, 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
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, when we first begun
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!
Oh, how sweet the sound
To save a wretch like me
Oh, I once was lost but now, now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see
